Structure and Function of the Achilles Tendon and Plantarflexors 1 Year Following Achilles Tendon Rupture in the United Kingdom: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Significant structural and functional deficits persist years after ATR, including increased tendon size, fibre disorganisation, reduced strength and tendon elongation. ATRS scores were consistent with previous nonsurgical immobilisation protocol outcomes in the United Kingdom. Longitudinal studies are needed to understand the trajectory of recovery following ATR.
