Animals have to be able to heal from tendon ruptures without surgery, and we can.It’s also a good example of how many orthopedic surgeries are surprisingly useless, even the ones where the need for “repair” seems “obvious” — this is something research has been exposing regularly since...
Rodgers underwent a “speed bridge” surgery to speed up his recovery and enable him to practice within three months. Stefanski did not know what kind of procedure Watson will have. A typical recovery time after an Achilles tendon repair is six to nine mont...

Minimally invasive surgery may have a shorter recovery time and reduced scarring compared to open tendon repair...
Achilles tendon surgery offers the benefits of an immediate and secure “end-to-end” repair of the ruptured tendon. This allows for a predictable course of recovery and decreased risk of repeat rupture. The main risk of Achilles tendon surgery, however, relates to the surgical wound and healin...
