Surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon is performed under general anaesthetic and usually involves reattaching the two ends of the tendon back together. There are different surgical options for repairing a ruptured Achilles tendon depending on the location of the tear.
One incision is made through the skin and muscles of the calf enabling the surgeon a clear view and direct access to the tendon. The surgeon will then either remove parts of the damaged tendon or simply repair the tear by stitching the two ends back together.
A number of small incisions are made around the site of the rupture. A narrow, flexible, telescopic camera, together with a series of needles and sutures will be used to indirectly stitch the tendon back together through the skin.
The procedure usually takes 1 hour to 90 minutes.
