Achilles Tendon Repair
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is critical for walking, running, and jumping. When this tendon is torn or ruptured, patients often experience sharp pain, swelling, and difficulty pushing off the foot.
Achilles tendon repair surgery involves stitching the torn ends of the tendon back together. In some cases, reinforcement with nearby tissue or grafts may be needed. This procedure restores strength and function to the tendon, allowing patients to gradually return to daily activity and physical work.
