What the procedure involves.
Achilles tendon repair surgically reconnects a ruptured Achilles tendon to restore push-off strength and walking ability. Chinese sports medicine surgeons offer both open and minimally invasive percutaneous repair techniques with strong suture materials. Early functional rehabilitation protocols allow faster return to sport compared to traditional casting approaches.
Step by step.
Rupture Assessment
Clinical examination (Thompson test), ultrasound or MRI to confirm complete rupture and measure gap distance
Surgical Repair
Regional anesthesia, prone positioning, tendon end preparation and strong suture repair with or without augmentation
Protected Mobilization
Boot application in equinus position, early weight-bearing as tolerated with heel wedges
Sport-specific Rehab
Progressive calf strengthening, plyometric training, and gradual return to running and jumping
- Lower re-rupture rate compared to non-operative treatment
- Stronger tendon healing with modern suture techniques
- Minimally invasive options reduce wound complications
- Faster return to high-level sports
- Wound infection or skin breakdown
- Re-rupture of the repaired tendon
- Sural nerve injury causing numbness
- Deep vein thrombosis during recovery
