French Achilles Tendon Surgery Cohort Study

Prospective Cohort Study of Patients Undergoing Surgical Repair of the Achilles Tendon

This 20-year prospective cohort study monitors patients following Achilles tendon repair to assess re-rupture rates, long-term functional outcomes, return-to-sport rates, and procedure-related complications. The aim is to better understand the long-term durability and clinical effectiveness of Achilles tendon repair techniques to optimize patient outcomes.

This study is a long-term cohort analysis involving patients who have undergone Achilles tendon repair surgery.

The goal is to follow these patients over a 20-year period to assess several key outcomes. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate the rate of re-ruptures, the rate and quality of return to sport, long-term functional outcomes using validated scoring systems, and the incidence of procedure-related complications.

By collecting detailed and consistent data over two decades, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the durability and effectiveness of Achilles tendon repair surgery, ultimately contributing to a better understanding of the procedure and improved patient care.
