The weather turned cool, many netizens began to look for indoor sports activities, badminton as one of the first choice of sports for the treatment of cervical spondylosis, not to be outdone became a popular sport in autumn and winter, many companies and units also organized one after another or large or small badminton tournaments.  However, the number of people injured by playing badminton caused by the Achilles tendon is not a few, how fragile is our Achilles tendon in the end? How to deal with the Achilles tendon after rupture?  Achilles tendon is also known as Achilles tendon Achilles tendon, the original name Achilles tendon, named after the Greek mythology, the Trojan horse massacre of Achilles, meaning as this whole body swords and guns of the demi-god, is the strongest tendon of the body. How do you identify this location? The Achilles tendon is formed by the fusion of the tendons of the triceps (the inner and outer heads of the flounder and gastrocnemius muscles) of the lower leg, extending to the heel bone, and is about 15 cm long.  Two conditions can easily lead to rupture of the Achilles tendon What are the circumstances under which the Achilles tendon can rupture? The Achilles tendon, being the strongest tendon in the body, is generally not prone to rupture injury. The second type is traumatic rupture, such as a fall from height, or simply stepping on an empty step, but because of the weight combined with the shift of the center of gravity directly located on the Achilles tendon, car accidents, these situations can lead to rupture of the Achilles tendon.  Achilles tendon rupture: infrequent sports people are vulnerable to Achilles tendon rupture is common in sports people between the ages of 30 and 50, non-sports people over 50 and women. For some of the recent netizens due to badminton and other sports items led to rupture of the Achilles tendon, most of them are “spontaneous rupture”, because the usual exercise is not enough, suddenly sports activities increase, the Achilles tendon is easy to be injured. After the rupture of the Achilles tendon, there will be obvious swelling and pain, limited ankle movement, weak ankle plantarflexion, inability to stand on tiptoe, and limping.  Conservative and surgical treatment is required for Achilles tendon rupture How should I treat my Achilles tendon after rupture? For older patients, if they can accept living with a limp, they can be treated conservatively and wear a brace to improve function, but the consequence is that they will limp.  For younger patients, who mostly cannot accept the result of lifelong claudication, surgical treatment can be used. Surgical treatment generally refers to suturing both sides of the Achilles tendon, fixing the Achilles tendon with sutures to achieve full and firm contact, and then fixing it with a cast for 4-6 weeks to achieve full healing of the Achilles tendon. After the surgery, you can basically resume normal walking and moderate exercise. It is important to note that a conservative postoperative rehabilitation process should be followed and that vigorous exercise should not be performed prematurely as it may cause laxity of the reconstructed ligament, although it depends more on the surgeon’s approach at the moment and the rehabilitation process should strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions.
