Can a ruptured Achilles tendon be repaired?

Achilles tendon rupture repair can be good, most people timely and actively carry out formal treatment can be restored, a few people will be left with scar contracture. The treatment of Achilles tendon rupture should be based on the degree of Achilles tendon injury to choose conservative treatment or surgical treatment, timely repair of the ruptured Achilles tendon after external fixation, and early functional rehabilitation exercises, the ability to basically return to the normal level. Rehabilitation exercise to promote healing and functional recovery, enhance leg muscle strength and Achilles tendon stability as the goal, common methods are: 1. Move your toes On the first day after surgery, you can move your toes, but the range of activities should not be too large, thus causing excessive ankle activity. 2. High leg raising After changing to neutral immobilization (e.g., short plaster immobilization), you can do high leg raising to strengthen the thigh muscles, but ankle dorsiflexion activities are prohibited to avoid landing on the forefoot of the injured foot. Be careful not to slip when exercising. 3. Ankle flexion and extension After releasing the external fixation, start to exercise the function of ankle flexion and extension (do the hook toe movement), as well as gradually practice walking. During this period, wear high heels first, so that the Achilles tendon is in a state of relaxation, and slowly reduce the height of the heel, not directly wear flat shoes. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the patient should avoid strenuous exercise of the ankle and sudden force on the forefoot within one year to avoid re-rupture of the Achilles tendon. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner and standardize the treatment and scientific training under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid causing secondary injury and delaying the condition.
