Tendons are a TCM concept and cover a wide range of content. In modern medicine, tendons mainly refer to ligaments or tendons, so a ruptured tendon may refer to a ruptured tendon or a ruptured ligament. The recovery time differs between the two, usually ligament ruptures take 3-12 months to return to normal after surgery, while tendon ruptures may take about 3 months to return to normal. In addition, the site of the rupture and the individual’s physique should be taken into consideration, as the site with less weight is slower to recover than the site with more weight, and the one with poor physique is slower to recover than the one with good physique. 1. Ligament rupture: it often occurs in the finger joint, ankle joint, knee joint, etc. If the ligaments of the finger joints are ruptured, most of them can recover about 6 months after surgery. The ankle joint has higher requirements for activity and weight-bearing, and requires a longer recovery time after surgery, requiring a long period of rehabilitation exercise, about 6-12 months before gradual recovery. Knee ligament rupture may cause more problems and may seriously damage the function of the knee joint, which requires long-term rehabilitation training to restore the function. 3-6 months after surgery, you can gradually remove the crutches and walk alone, and start to restore the functions after about 6-12 months. 2. Tendon rupture: If the tendon of the finger is ruptured, it needs to be fixed for about 4 weeks after surgery, and can gradually recover after about 3 months after starting functional exercise. gradually recover. The Achilles tendon rupture is divided into fresh Achilles tendon rupture and old Achilles tendon rupture, and the recovery time of both is also different. Fresh Achilles tendon rupture can be removed from the cast 6-8 weeks after surgery and functional exercise can be started, and it can be gradually recovered in about 3 months, but we should pay attention not to exercise strenuously to avoid the second rupture of the tendon. Whether it is a tendon rupture or ligament exercise, it takes a period of time to recover and rehabilitation should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor, not to be rushed and not to disregard rehabilitation training. Daily intake of sufficient energy, more high-protein, high-fiber foods, such as beans, milk, celery, coarse grains, etc., to meet the body’s demand for energy during recovery.
