Values in bold indicates values following surgical release. Values is bold relate to the patient’s scores and evaluation following surgical release of adhesions

ATRS Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score, Sup superficial

*Means that patient was managed prior to routine Heel-Rise Height Index (HRHI) assessment
