achilles
repair
Experiencing a torn Achilles tendon can be a fearful and frustrating event, severely impacting mobility and daily activities. The repair process typically involves surgical intervention to reattach or reconstruct the damaged tendon. At our facility, we prioritize comprehensive care throughout the recovery journey. Our expert team designs personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to individual needs, incorporating exercises, modalities, and progressive loading to promote healing and regain strength. We provide guidance on activity modification, proper footwear, and pain management techniques. With our support, patients can navigate their recovery process effectively, gradually restoring function and returning to their desired level of activity with confidence.
surgical procedure
Achilles repair is a surgical procedure performed to address a ruptured Achilles tendon, a common injury that can occur due to sudden forceful movements or degenerative changes within the tendon. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the back of the ankle to access the torn tendon. The ends of the ruptured tendon are then meticulously sutured back together, often with the aid of additional reinforcement techniques or grafting materials to enhance healing and structural integrity.
during your rehab
After Achilles repair, patients typically wear a cast or boot for several weeks to protect the repair. Physical therapy focuses on gradual strengthening and stretching of the calf muscles, with a gradual return to weight-bearing activities over several months.
recovery process
Recovery from Achilles repair is a lengthy process, with full recovery often taking six months to a year. Prognosis varies depending on factors such as the extent of the injury and surgical technique, but many patients experience significant improvement in function and reduced risk of re-rupture with proper rehabilitation.
