What Is an Achilles Tendon Rupture?
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is essential for walking, running, and jumping. Ruptures occur due to sudden stress or trauma, causing:
- Sudden sharp pain in the back of the ankle
- Swelling or bruising
- Difficulty walking or pushing off the foot
Surgical repair restores tendon continuity, improves strength, and reduces the risk of long-term functional limitations.
