    Description / Table of Contents: After end-to-end suture for the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture we used two different immobilization regimens. One group of patients had below-the-knee casts ensuring immobilization with the foot in different positions (intermediate or neutral equinus position), while the other group underwent a semifunctional treatment with a vacuum brace system (Vacoped). We compared the two treatments with reference to clinical, functional and economic aspects. The outcome after the semifunctional therapy with the foot orthosis was characterized by better ankle movement, less calf muscle atrophy, and earlier return to work. It is better tolerated and more effective from the viewpoint of rehabilitation.
    Notes: Nach operativ versorgter intraligamentärer Achillessehnenruptur werden 2 unterschiedliche Behandlungskonzepte angewendet. In der Nachuntersuchung findet sich in der Patientengruppe mit semifunktioneller Nachbehandlung mittels eines Vakuumstützsystems neben einer kürzeren Dauer der Arbeitsunfähigkeit ein besseres klinisches und funktionelles Ergebnis. Die konventionelle Gipstherapie weist zusätzlich einen geringeren Tragekomfort und einen erhöhten ökonomischen Aufwand auf.
