Achilles Tendon Repair

Achilles tendon repair is a surgical procedure to fix a torn Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This injury often occurs during activities that involve running or jumping. The surgery involves stitching the torn ends of the tendon back together, allowing it to heal properly. Recovery typically includes rest, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity. Proper repair helps restore strength and function, reducing the risk of future injuries. Following the surgery, patience and adherence to rehabilitation are essential for a successful return to normal activities.
