ObjectiveTo evaluate the time to return to playing following acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) and surgical repair in professional male football (soccer) players.MethodsProfessional male football (soccer) players who sustained an ATR and underwent surgical repair were identified through internet-based injury reports from January 2008 to August 2018. Only League 1 and 2 players with injuries who had at least 1 year of follow-up from the search date were included. Injury history and time to return to play were retrieved from the public platform transfermarkt.com. For athletes who competed for at least two seasons after returning to play, re-ruptures and number of matches played were reported.Results118 athletes (mean age 27.2±7.2 years) were included. 113 (96%) returned to unrestricted practice after a mean of 199±53 days, with faster recovery in players involved in national teams. Return to competition was after a mean of 274±114 days. In the 76 athletes with at least two seasons of follow-up, 14 (18%) did not compete at the pre-injury level during the two seasons following the index injury. Six players (8%) sustained a re-rupture within the first two seasons after return to play; four re-ruptures were in footballers who returned to play <180 days after injury. Age >30 years and re-ruptures had higher odds ratios of not returning to the same level of play.Conclusions96% of professional male football players who underwent surgery to repair an ATR returned to unrestricted practice and then competition after an average time of 7 and 9 months, respectively. However, 18% did not return to the same level of play within the two seasons following their return, with a higher risk in those experiencing a re-rupture.

Hip arthroscopy has proved its efficacy and value in the management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in recreational and professional athletes. However, needs, expectations, and economic burden are remarkable and astonishingly different within the elite sport world. When considering hip arthroscopy to address a femoroacetabular impingement condition, 3 big questions are asked by every athlete and must be answered: (1) Can I play again? (2) Will I play at the same level? (3) When can I return to sport? Regarding the National Basketball Association, approximately 88% of athletes return to play at the same level in about 6 months.

“…8,13,22 Although a randomized trial is the best way to conduct an isolated comparison of treatment options, it is also something of an artificial construct that differs from routine clinical practice. Because the apparent efficacy of surgery for alleviating symptomatic FAI and labral tears has been demonstrated in many noncomparative studies, 1,3,5,9,11,14 patients and surgeons usually expect the option to proceed to surgery if the nonsurgical treatment does not seem to be working. 2,20 One such trial that compared arthroscopic and nonsurgical treatment of FAI, done in a military setting by Mansell and colleagues, 12,13 appeared in AJSM last year and garnered considerable reader attention.…”
