If you cut your acillies tendon will you be able to walk ever again?!


Question: My partner who is a sports physio says that it is not necessary to resort to surgery as the achilles tendon can be repaired conservatively by placing it in a non weight bearing boot or plaster cast for a period of time when the achilles tendon is in a shortened position.

Yes. Should be repaired before .

You can walk without an Achilles' tendon but not very well. It is very important that a cut or torn Achilles' be repaired as soon as possible; otherwise, the torn/cut ends retract and deteriorate, making the repair extremely complicated or impossible.

there are better quicker ways to kill yourself...

or if you want to cripple someone, a baseball bat works best...

The Achilles tendon can only be repaired by surgery, and the sooner after damage that is done, the easier it is. There is also a period of physio neccessary after surgery to get the tendon and surrounding tissue back into full working order.

yes they repair it you have to have surgery

Yes, they can be repaired by wiring the ends together and then immobilising to allow healing.
