Amazing

Treatment for an Achilles tendon injury typically includes rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgical intervention.

This is not the standard way of repairing a ruptured Achilles tendon. A minimally invasive procedure perhaps but involves drilling in the heal bone which wasn't part of the original one and can cause problems down the road. Peace.

Bruh, the human body is next level. Surgeons are cracked.

Didn't @AaronRodgers12 just eat some mushrooms and take some iowaska, and was good to go in 3 weeks?

The body and surgeons are amazing

crazy how achilles got shot once and died but y’all out here jogging on torn tendons like rent’s due tomorrow

FUCK ISRAEL

🛑Achilles tendon repair surgery is a type of surgery to fix a damaged Achilles tendon. 📍The Achilles tendon is a strong, fibrous cord in the lower leg. 📍It connects the muscles of your calf to your heel. 📍It’s the largest tendon in your body. 📍It helps you walk, run, and jump. 📍In some cases, the Achilles tendon can tear, or rupture. 📍This is usually due to a sudden, strong force. 📍It can happen during tough physical activity ⚡Procedure : 📍During the surgery, an incision is made in the back of the calf. 📍If the tendon is ruptured, the surgeon will stitch the tendon back together. 📍If the tendon is degenerated, the surgeon may remove the damaged part of the tendon and repair the rest of the tendon with stitches. 📍If there is severe damage to a lot of the tendon, the surgeon might replace part or all of your Achilles tendon. 📍This is done with a tendon taken from another place in your foot. 📍In some cases, the Achilles tendon repair surgery can be done as a minimally invasive procedure. 📍This is done with several small incisions instead of one large one. 📍It may use a special scope with a tiny camera and a light to help do the repair.
