How long does a ruptured achilles tendon take to heal after treatment?

6-8 weeks: If the tendon is repaired surgically, it can take 6-8 weeks for the tendon the heal. However, recovery takes 4-6 months.

It depends: This involves knowing the cause of injury and if the tear was repaired by surgery or just immobilization.

Achilles tendon: There are many variables to consider. Age of the person, any co-existing medical problems, how long after rupture treatment initiated and what treatment given just to name a few.

Depends on severity: A partial tear that does not need surgery can heal in 3 to 4 weeks. A ruptured achilles that needs surgical repair will be a lengthy process: 3 to 4 week with cast and crutches, another 3 weeks in a walking cast then another 3 weeks of physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility and motion.

6 to 8 weeks: Depending on treatment, it could take up to 10 weeks.

Achilles rupture: It depends on whether this is treated nonsurgical vs. Surgical and the degree of the tear.
