Why Is the Achilles Tendon Important?

The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the body. It connects your calf muscles to your heel bone and plays a crucial role in walking, running, and jumping.
When torn or ruptured, simple movements like pushing off the ground or climbing stairs become difficult or impossible.

When Is Achilles Tendon Repair Needed?

Achilles tendon repair is typically recommended when:

• You have a complete tear or rupture

• Non-surgical treatments (like bracing or rehab) are not effective

• You’re an active individual or athlete looking for a faster return to function

How the Procedure Is Done

Modern Achilles tendon repair uses minimally invasive techniques to reduce tissue damage and speed up recovery. Surgeons make a small incision near the back of the ankle to access the torn tendon.
