Open surgery and minimally invasive repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture: stratified outcomes based on immobilization duration in a prospective cohort study by Yuan Cao, Xiuzhi Li, Zengzhen Cui, Yang Lv, Gao Si

“…Postoperative VAS scores were markedly lower in MIS cohorts during the first 2 weeks (P < 0.001), with pain resolution comparable across all groups by 8 weeks. Despite the superior early functional recovery in PF (9.1–33.4 vs. 14.6–38.9 days, P < 0.001), Group D and E exhibited higher re-injury rates compared to OS (P < 0.05), in which Group D also demonstrated higher re-operation rates (5.6% vs. 0, P = 0.038). …”
