Achilles Tendon Reconstruction FAQ
How do I know if I have a ruptured Achilles tendon?
A ruptured Achilles tendon is often characterized by a sudden, sharp pain in the back of the ankle or calf, accompanied by a popping or snapping sensation. You may experience difficulty walking, swelling, and bruising around the affected area. Seeking medical attention is crucial for an accurate diagnosis.
How long does the recovery process take after Achilles tendon surgery?
The recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the injury, the surgical technique used, and individual factors. Generally, the initial healing phase after surgery takes about 6 to 8 weeks, during which the foot and ankle are immobilized. After that, a comprehensive rehabilitation program is initiated, which may take several months for the patient to regain full function
Can I return to physical activities or sports after Achilles tendon surgery?
With proper rehabilitation and a gradual return-to-activity plan, many individuals can resume their desired physical activities and sports after Achilles tendon surgery. However, the timing and level of activity will depend on the individual’s progress, the surgeon’s recommendations, and the specific demands of the activity or sport.
How long does it take to fully recover after an Achilles tendon Surgery?
The patient might be able to resume full activities in 4–6 months. However, the patient should continue to exercise caution because full recovery isn’t felt for a full year following surgery.
