Validation of a Composite Outcome Score for Assessing Return to Sports After Achilles Tendon Repair
The Ankle-GO is a valid tool to evaluate and discriminate patients during the RTS continuum after Achilles tendon repair and to predict RTS at the same level at 9 months after surgery. This composite outcome score assesses ankle function and the patient's psychological readiness to avoid premature RTS and worsening of the injury. Further studies are needed to assess its value in identifying and predicting patients at risk of a recurrence.
