Non-operative functional treatment for acute achilles tendon ruptures: The Leicester Achilles Management Protocol (LAMP)
Injury Mar 16, 2019
Aujla RS, et al. - Researchers performed a prospective study of 442 patients who were treated with an eight-week functional dynamic treatment protocol in a VACOped boot with immediate full weight bearing mobilisation, the LAMP, and were followed up for a minimum 12-month period in order to present outcomes and objective measures of assessment for acute Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures treated with LAMP. Outcomes support the possible utility of an 8-week dynamic functional immediate full-weight bearing regime for the majority of acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Compared to other studies, they reported less overall time in the boot with low complication rates and similar patient-reported outcomes.
