2003 JUL 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Ruptured Achilles tendons set the stage for future bone problems.
"In a prospective uncontrolled study 12 patients suffering from a rupture of the Achilles tendon treated operatively with surgical repair and post-operative immobilization in a short plaster cast for 6 weeks had bilateral measurements of bone mineral content (BMC) of the proximal tibia and bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and greater trochanter," according to recent research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports.

Bone mineral density at the hip of the operated legs also decreased significantly and 1 year after the injury BMD was 2.5% (95%-CL: -5.5%; 0.5%) and 6.8% (95%-CL: -9.8%; -3.7%) below the ...
