Love the graft jacket! This patient will have full use and strength when the tendon is healed 6-8 weeks after the repair.

wait, k, so i posted last year, and as i said i cut it straight in half, now it has a thick part in that area, is it just scar tissue or is it the graft jacket?

I ruptured my left Achilles Tendon 2 years ago. This video brings back memories!! Ouch! When I look back, recovery wasn't to bad. 4 weeks in a non weight bearing cast. 2 Weeks in a full weight bearing cast. Then into a removable boot. At that time you start therapy.

I have achilles tendonitis but I dont know if its micro tears or a partial rupture. It got so painful that I cried for and hour... now I am in a plaster cast. The crying "episode" happened (while I was in a walking boot) after my MRI so my doctor doesnt know the current extent of the injury... should I have surgery? all other treatments are not working.
