Hi, I recently ruptured mine. But I have a 4.7mm gap and closes to 4mm. The radiologist said it needs surgery as it does close. Not seeing the registrar until next week. But I think I will insist of an op to get it together properly. Cant seem to get a decent answer. Can't afford to mess about as I need to get back to work etc. How are you doing now?

I designed the images with a medical illustrator, funded by and owned Orthosolutions

Thank you. @@liverpoolfootandankle4528

Good afternoon! I ruptured almost two weeks ago, 2.5.24.. and they had put me in a black aircast with 3 wedges as well... My question is, did you continue with it or did you switch your boot and wedges out?.

Hang in there yo! I stuck with the air cast. If I could do it over though, I would go vacoped! I’m about 7 months out, healing up nicely 🙏🏻 trust the process and stay positive 🔋

@@jackg5278 Thank You! Greatly appreciate it🙏 glad you're almost out of the dark! Do you feel your tendon healed correctly with the Foam Wedges? Them being so bulky..

Thanks! It’s been a journey. It’s hard to say honestly. I asked my ortho for ultrasound imaging to see if they felt like it healed long or anything like that and they said no they can just tell based off ability to do single leg calf raise. They also told me not to get vacoped. If you haven’t come across that yet, down the road, that becomes your gold standard. The single leg calf raise. My advice would be to attack the small stuff rehab you are allowed to do early on. It’s hella boring and I wasn’t as disciplined around it as I should have been, but you won’t regret it!

@@jackg5278 thank You! I've been training my right leg with the exercises to get that one stronger and be ready for my left when it's time to do so. Thank you for your encouragement! Flippin' helps a lot when one has gone through it!

Thanks for watching!

Hi! Can I ask what boot did you use instead of the vacoped? Did you use the heel raise aka achilles wedge? If so, which one specifically? Thanks!
