If the heel tendon is ruptured, you should go to the orthopedic department of a regular hospital for examination to determine whether it is serious according to the integrity and continuity of the tendon. If it is an incomplete rupture of the tendon, the damage is mild, and the treatment usually takes about 1 to 2 months to return to normal. If the tendon is completely ruptured, it is more serious and may take about 2 to 3 months or more to recover.
1. Incomplete tear: If the heel tendon is ruptured, but the tendon is not completely torn, it should be treated conservatively with a professional doctor, such as wearing a brace for protection, plaster immobilization, etc., and may return to normal in about 1 to 2 months.
2. Complete tear: If the heel tendon is ruptured and diagnosed as a complete tear, surgical treatment should be considered, and with the post-surgical functional exercises, it usually takes about 2 to 3 months, or even longer, before recovery is possible.
After the heel tendon rupture, it is recommended to go to the orthopedic department of the regular hospital as soon as possible for physical examination, ultrasound and other examinations, so that the professional doctor can make a comprehensive analysis and judgment, and take the corresponding treatment plan.
