Tendon Ruptures

If you live in or near La Quinta, CA and suffer a tendon rupture, reach out to our office today to schedule an appointment.  We will prioritize your analysis and care to help you get back on your feet and live a normal life after the unfortunate development.  We provide coordinated care that expedites the recovery process.  The goal of minimally invasive surgery as opposed to conventional open surgery for a tendon rupture is to help you return to normal living as quickly as possible. 

Surgery that repairs a fully ruptured Achilles stitches that tendon back together for cohesion.  It might be necessary to remove the damaged section of the tendon or even the entire tendon and replace it with tissues from another section of the foot. However, there are also some nonsurgical options for tendon ruptures.

Nonsurgical options for tendon ruptures permit the tendon to heal in a natural manner while immobilized within a specialized boot.  The rehab process prioritizes early weight-bearing to enhance functionality.  Your unique tendon tear, level of activity, age and additional factors will ultimately determine whether a nonsurgical or surgical approach is optimal.
