This is our 7th patient post achilles rupture in the last few weeks.
27 year old semi pro footballer kcd15 came to us after rupturing his Achilles six months ago. With less than 1cm retraction the decision was made to go with conservative management in a boot in plantar-flexion and to gradually increase him weekly into plantar grade.
He came out of the boot on approx week 10 and then the hard work started around strengthening and increasing the ankle dorsi flexion range. He has done very well and thanks to the the_pfa for their support all the way through.
This was his first run yesterday which was actually one day short of the six months marker since injury. He still has a lot of work to do and he will now build his run tolerance very gradually , maintain his strength/plyo work and hopefully get back to football next season. 💪💪.
