Achilles Surgery

Achilles surgery, known as Achilles tendon repair, aims to reconnect the torn or ruptured Achilles tendon – a fibrous tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone.

Your surgeon will make an incision in the back of your lower leg and sew the tendon back together through this incision. It’s a complex procedure, which can take several weeks or even months for your body to heal completely. Recovery time varies greatly depending on the extent of the tendon damage and your overall health condition.
