| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer Group | 28 Patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture treated with Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus transfer by a single surgeon in a single hospital (General Hospital of Naousa, Greece). All patients followed the same postoperative rehabilitation program. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Endoscopic Flexor Hallucis Longus transfer for Acute Achilles tendon rupture | Procedure | All patients have already undergone the same operation for the same disease. All data are to be collected retrospectively |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient Satisfaction | Evaluated and quantified with the Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (min = 0 - worst outcome, max = 100 - best outcome) | At least 24 months postoperatively |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Complication rate | Complications will be recorded and categorized: Rerupture, Infection, Nerve injury, Miscellaneous | At least 24 months postoperatively |
| Calf Circumference | Calf circumference measured 15 cm distally to the inferior pole of the patella. Contralateral limb calf circumference will also be measured. The Calf Circumference Difference will be calculated and compared between the two groups. |
