It takes at least about 6 weeks to recover from a broken tendon on the top of the foot after it is attached. Ligament injuries prohibit strenuous exercise within six months.
Tendon is a Chinese medicine concept, Western medicine generally refers to soft tissue structures, such as tendons, ligaments, etc., so a broken tendon on the top of the foot generally refers to tendon or ligament rupture or injury. Generally speaking, in the case of tendon rupture, it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to recover after tendon anastomosis through surgery.
Strenuous activities should also be avoided for 3 months after surgery to prevent re-injury.
Ligament injuries generally have a longer recovery time, and are usually braked and immobilized for 6 weeks, and strenuous activities are prohibited for 6 months to prevent re-injury of the ligaments.
Patients who have undergone surgical treatment for supraspinatus tendon rupture are not advised to engage in premature activities, and should follow the doctor’s instructions for exercise and rehabilitation, so as to help functional recovery.
