Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This evaluation will be performed by examining the following parameters:

1. Patient satisfaction quantified with the Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS). This is the primary outcome.
2. Complication rate
3. Ankle and Calf circumference compared to the contralateral healthy limb.
4. Passive and Active range of ankle motion compared to the contralateral healthy limb.
5. Hallux flexion force compared to the contralateral healthy limb.
