How long it takes to recover from a half rupture of the Achilles tendon to the point of being able to walk varies from person to person and cannot be generalized. Generally, it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to gradually walk with weight bearing, and about 4 to 6 months to fully recover.
Rupture of the Achilles tendon can be caused by violent impacts on the Achilles tendon area and irregular sports postures, resulting in pain, swelling and weakness in the heel. Through the tendon suture surgery or plaster fixation and other treatments, the Achilles tendon can be basically healed after 6~8 weeks, at this time, you can go down to the ground and walk with weight, and it will take about 4~6 months to fully recover.
However, the specific recovery time varies from patient to patient, which is related to their physical condition, whether they have standardized treatment and whether they have enough rest. Patients need to strictly follow the doctor’s advice and carry out treatment and functional exercises according to the doctor’s recommendations, in order to restore the function of the Achilles tendon as soon as possible.
