Overview of the non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing immobilization period and the moment of start with Range of Motion per treatment group
| Group A: primary repair (n = 28) | Group B: tenodesis (n = 21) | Group C: grafting (n = 16) | Group D: end-to-end suturing (n = 7) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total immobilization in weeks | Median 6.0 (range 0–12) | Median 7.0 (range 3.0–13) | Median 6.3 (range 3.0–13) | Median 8.0 (range 6.0–11) |
| NWB in weeks | Median 3.5 (range 0–6.4) | Median 4.3 (range 0–8.0) | Median 4.0 (range 0–8.0) | Median 4.0 (range 2.0–8.0) |
| WB in weeks | Median 2.3 (range 0–8.0) | Median 3.0 (range 0–8.0) | Median 2.8 (range 0–10) | Median 4.0 (range 0–6.0) |
| Start ROM in weeks | n = 23a | n = 20a | n = 15a | n = 4a |
| Median: 4.0 (range 2.0–12) | Median: 4.5 (range 0–12) | Median: 4.0 (range 0–12) | Median: 5.5 (range 2.0–8.0) |
