What is Achilles Tendon Repair?

The Achilles tendon, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone, is the strongest tendon in the body but is prone to injury due to overuse, sudden trauma, or degenerative changes. Achilles tendon surgical repair involves reattaching the torn tendon or removing damaged tissue to restore function and mobility.

Types of Achilles Tendon Repair Techniques  

  • Open Surgery: Traditional open surgery involves a larger incision to access the tendon, allowing direct repair and removal of damaged tissue.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: This approach uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to perform the repair with less tissue disruption and faster recovery.
  • Percutaneous Repair: Smaller incisions with specialized tools for a minimally invasive approach.
  • Tendon Augmentation: Use of tendon grafts or synthetic material to strengthen the repair.
Procedure Name Achilles Tendon Repair

Achilles Tendon Repair: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Pre-Procedure Evaluation: Before surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history, imaging studies (e.g., MRI, ultrasound), and a physical examination to determine the best surgical approach.

During the Procedure: The surgery typically involves reattaching the tendon ends or augmenting them with sutures or grafts. Patients are usually given general anesthesia or regional blocks.

Procedure Duration: Achilles tendon repair typically lasts 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and surgical approach used.

Recovery and Post-Procedure Care: After surgery, patients may require a short hospital stay for observation and pain management. Post-operative care includes immobilization (cast or boot), followed by physical therapy for rehabilitation.

Follow-Up Care: Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing, remove stitches or casts, and ensure proper rehabilitation. The orthopedic team will guide you through exercises and the milestones of Achilles tendon repair recovery.

FAQ's

Initial healing typically takes 6-12 weeks, during which you need to avoid weight-bearing activities. Full recovery, including regaining strength and mobility, can take 6-12 months. A structured physical therapy program is crucial during this period.

Yes, it’s a major surgery that requires anesthesia and involves making an incision to access and repair the tendon. Because of the surgical nature, there are risks like infection, nerve damage, and blood clots, but these risks are generally low with proper care and skilled surgeons.

Yes, non-surgical treatment is an option, especially for minor or partial tears. It involves immobilization with a cast or boot to allow the tendon to heal, followed by a rehabilitation program. Non-surgical treatment may have a higher risk of re-rupture, but it avoids the risks of surgery.

Achilles surgery is highly successful, with success rates typically over 80% to 90%. Success depends on several factors, including the type of injury, patient age, and adherence to rehabilitation. Most patients regain near-normal function, but full athletic capability may take longer.

Tendons heal with scar tissue, which can be less flexible than the original tissue. While tendons might not “grow back stronger,” they can be strengthened through proper rehabilitation and physical therapy. Surrounding muscles and tissues can compensate and reduce the risk of re-injury.

To sleep after Achilles surgery, keep your foot elevated above heart level to reduce swelling. Use pillows for support and try to sleep on your back or side with your leg elevated. Pain management is key, so follow your doctor’s recommendations. A comfortable position can also improve sleep quality during recovery.

Recovery from Achilles tendon repair typically takes about 6 to 12 months. Initial recovery involves limited weight-bearing and immobilization. Gradually, physical therapy helps restore strength and flexibility, with full recovery and return to high-impact activities taking longer.
