Achilles Tendon Disorders
The strongest tendon in your body still has limits.
From nagging tendinopathy in runners to sudden ruptures on the badminton court — Achilles problems need precise diagnosis, because the right treatment differs completely between them.
Rupture: operate or not?
Both surgical and modern functional non-surgical treatment can work for acute ruptures. The right choice depends on your age, sport, the gap between tendon ends on ultrasound, and how soon you presented. What matters most is starting the correct protocol early — a neglected rupture is a much bigger operation.
