Validation and cross-cultural adaptation of Greek version of Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score

Achilles Tendon (AT) is the most commonly ruptured tendon in middle aged men during sports and the incidence of acute ruptures is rising [1]. Treatment options include operative tendon suturing and nonoperative; but there is no general consensus regarding the indications for each one [2]. Self-reported scores or questionnaires are frequently used in clinical studies in order to evaluate the functional status before or after treatment of a disease or an injury.
