Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically — 3 months
    The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated test which combines both the height of each heel-rise and the number of repetitions.
  • Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically — 6 months
    The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance
  • Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically — 12 months
    The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance
  • Difference in functional outcome between patients treated surgically and non-surgically — 24 months
    The primary outcome will be a comparison of function by the heel-rise work test developed by Silbernagel et al. This is a validated set of tests measuring vertical jump, strength and endurance
