Non-operative return to activity
In patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture treated non-operatively, we are unable to recommend a specific time at which patients can return to athletic activity.

Rationale
A systematic review identified 5 level IV studies21,5,20, 19,25  providing data on return to sports after non-operative treatment. These studies did not provide adequate evidence to make a recommendation for the specific time patients can return to athletic activity following non-operative treatment for Achilles tendon rupture.
