Restoring the torn Achilles tendon
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a full tear of your Achilles tendon (not just a partial tear or strain).
- You need to have seen a doctor within 14 days of your injury.
- You must be able to read and understand Danish.
- You must not smoke or have diabetes.
- You cannot be on blood-thinning medication (like warfarin or similar).

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 whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
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 study tests whether adding a special collagen scaffold during surgery helps heal a torn Achilles tendon better than standard repair alone. The scaffold is made from cow collagen and is placed over the repair to support healing.
