What Does an Achilles Tendon Repair Treat?
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone and is very important because it is responsible for the movement that points the foot down. Without the Achilles tendon, it is impossible to push off of the foot and walk, run, and jump. Sports, physical activities, and overuse cause partial and complete Achilles tendon tears.
Symptoms include:
An audible pop or snap
Bruising
Inability to walk
Pain
Swelling
Tenderness
