Physical therapy in conservative (functional) treatment of acute achilles tendon rupture.
1. All patients returned to their daily working activities. 2. We did not record a single case with complications. 3. With regard to other methods of treatment the functional treatment is apparently without an alternative, but at the same time requires methods that seek full engagement of a surgeon, a radiologist and a physiatrist. 4. In order to avoid compromising and make the treatment successful, it is necessary to keep up with the implementation protocol, to have available adequate coeffective shoes or other means, and to possess certain level of clinical experience.
