Management strategies of the COVID pandemic included isolation to prevent transmission. This study aimed to determine if the pandemic of 2020 influenced the epidemiology of Achilles tendon rupture (ATR).
The demographics of presentations from the local population to Princess Royal Hospital, Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust hospital, Shropshire, United Kingdom, with an ATR were analysed and compared together with the season, month, and year of the injury.
From 2009 to 2019, there was no significant change in the incidence of ATR over time with a mean (SD) incidence of 13.3 per 100,000. In 2020, there was a decrease in injuries with an incidence of 8.4 per 100,000, with an increase in 2021 to 22.4 per 100,000. In 2021, there was an increase in injuries from March with numbers maintained until October. The most common activity of ATR was team sport (36.2%), followed by the activities of daily living (28.9%), other physical activities (21.0%), and racket sports (13.9%). In 2020, there was the lowest number of injuries sustained in team and racket sports; however, in 2021, they accounted for over half of injuries.
There were significantly more patients sustaining ATR in 2021, the year after the COVID pandemic and mandatory isolation. This was considered to be related to altered activity and team and racket sports during 2020.

新冠大流行期间的管理策略包括隔离以防止传播。本研究旨在确定 2020 年的大流行是否影响跟腱断裂 (ATR) 的流行病学。
分析并比较了英国什罗普郡什鲁斯伯里和特尔福德医院 NHS 信托基金医院就诊的本地人群的表现的人口统计学数据，以及损伤的季节、月份和年份。
2009 年至 2019 年，ATR 的发病率随时间无明显变化，平均（SD）发病率为每 100,000 人 13.3 人。2020 年，损伤发生率下降至每 100,000 人 8.4 人，2021 年增加至每 100,000 人 22.4 人。2021 年，三月的损伤人数增加，并持续到十月。ATR 最常见的活动是团队运动（36.2%），其次是日常生活活动（28.9%）、其他体育活动（21.0%）和球拍运动（13.9%）。2020 年，团队和球拍运动的损伤人数最少；然而，2021 年，它们占了一半以上的损伤。
在 COVID 大流行和强制性隔离后的第二年 2021 年，有更多的患者发生 ATR。这被认为与 2020 年活动和团队运动以及球拍运动的改变有关。
