Implication for Health Policy Mak ers/Practice/Research/Medical Education: Determine the kind of clustering of patients after being treated after early rehabilitation of Achilles tenorrhaphy is a necessary knowledge in order to begin the sport return phase. This knowledge will permit knowing the condition of patients by two clinical tests possible to perform during the first three months post-op, where no jumps or other activities are permitted due the risk or re-rupture of Achilles tendon. Financial Disclosure: The authors declare they do not have any conflict of interest. Funding/Support: The present research was supported by authors.

N2 - Background: Anearly recovery of Achilles TendonRupture Score (ATRS)andsingle-leg heel raises after Achilles rupture is a desirable aim to favor the sport return, but is unknown if the patient’ outcomes could be defined only by the kind of treatment. Objectives: To determine the number of clusters obtained based on ATRS and number of repetitions of single-leg heel rises after 12-weeks of Achilles tenorrhaphy in patients treated with either immediate or traditional rehabilitation treatment, compare the identified clusters of short-term recovery of single-leg by heel rise repetitions and ATRS, compare the proportion of treatment and heel rise ability contained into the clusters, and compare the dimension of the ATRS between clusters. Methods: Twenty-four patients (43.1 ± 8.2 years-old, BMI 29.2 ± 3.9 kg/m2) treated with immediate or traditional rehabilitation were included. The single-leg heel rise repetitions, the single-leg heel rise ability/disability and ATRS patient-reported outcomes were evaluated 12 weeks after Achilles tenorrhaphy. Results: The first cluster had high repetitions in heel rise and ATRS, principally treated by immediate rehabilitation. The second cluster had low repetitions in heel rise and ATRS, principally treated by traditional rehabilitation. The third cluster had the highest repetitions in heel rise but lower ATRS, treated only by immediate rehabilitation. Conclusions: An early recovery of the heel rise capacity could be achieved after Achilles tenorrhaphy and it is more probable to achieve an faster treatment.
