Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy with Haglund's Deformity: A Progressive Approach to Post-Operative Rehabilitation in Athletes

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address the effectiveness of a progressive post-operative rehabilitation protocol for athletes with insertional Achilles tendinopathy and Haglund's deformity, particularly focusing on the timing of weightbearing activities. They propose a criterion-based approach that allows for an expedited return to weightbearing, aligning rehabilitation milestones with physiological healing timelines to enhance recovery efficiency and facilitate a safe return to sport.
