This is a review of one study and doesn't quite help much with anything. Only real takeaway is the fact that the 1 year mark is indicative of how close you'll get back to normal overall. Unfortunately, the study only contains 100 people.

Thank you, still trying to decide surgery or no no surgery, but your info was great.

The push off strength study was done in 2010 ? Is there a reason why surgery would produce a stronger tendon than conservative rehab ? Could it be due more to how the tendon is rehabilitated rather than the actual operation ? I’m taking a risk playing American football and going the non operative route but I’m 25, only has a 3mm gap and could still walk on it for a week before I got it treated

Who’s trying to wait 5yrs to get back to playing ball, I just end it all before I wait for my Achilles to heal

The music is too loud and makes it hard to hear what you’re saying ☹️

I had sharp cut on my ancle after the Wound heal was not able to walk properly and i consulted to orthopaedic he said tendon is particularly teard my leg was in cast for one month now i am taking physiotherapy will my tendon recover completely

Do you know what the rerupture rate is please, mainly for non surgical repair
