Endoscopic tendon transfer for acute Achilles rupture
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who had a specific type of surgery (endoscopic FHL transfer) for a recent Achilles tendon tear. It aims to check how well they recovered after at least two years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a sudden Achilles tendon rupture within the last 4 weeks before surgery
- You were treated with endoscopic FHL transfer surgery
- Your surgery was done between January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2023
- It has been more than 2 years since your surgery
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You do not have other health issues that affect your ankle or leg (like severe swelling, arthritis, or previous foot surgery)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair large Achilles tendon defects (more than 4 cm). It is for people who have a large gap in their Achilles tendon, often from a rupture, tendinopathy, or after tumor removal. The goal is to see if adding a calf muscle reinforcement gives better results than a tendon transfer alone.
This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a special cuff) to standard rehabilitation exercises can help people with a torn Achilles tendon recover better. It might be an option if you recently ruptured your Achilles and started treatment within 72 hours.
This trial tests if strength training can improve calf muscle function in men who tore their Achilles tendon (up to 5 years ago) and had surgery. You cannot have done regular calf exercises recently or have certain health conditions.
