| Intervention | 1. Early loading in new orthosis 2. Traditional plaster cast treatment A full quantitative assessment of the effects of early loading and mobilisation on Achilles tendon healing. The study is part of a three-centre randomised controlled trial comparing early loading in a new orthosis with traditional treatment in a plaster cast. Patients will be assessed with clinical, radiological, histological, anthropometric and questionnaire follow-up. |
