These sources consist of a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial and two systematic reviews/meta-analyses, all focusing on the optimal treatment for acute Achilles’ tendon rupture (ATR). The randomized trial found that surgery (open repair or minimally invasive surgery) did not yield better patient-reported outcomes than nonoperative treatment at 12 months, although surgery significantly reduced the risk of rerupture. Both systematic reviews examined the continuing controversy over whether surgical or conservative management is superior, generally finding that conservative treatment with accelerated rehabilitation can achieve similar functional outcomes to surgery. However, the meta-analysis noted that while surgery reduced rerupture rates, it was associated with a higher overall complication rate compared to conservative care. Ultimately, the sources suggest that the decision between surgical and nonoperative management requires considering the patient’s status, functional expectations, and the trade-off between a lower rerupture risk (with surgery) and a lower complication risk (with conservative treatment).
