Achilles Tendon Surg: It can be. Too many factors involved, but the goal in rehab is 110% strength. The opposite side is what it is compared to and functionally accomplishing various tasks one more difficult than the previous. Dr rich blake.

No: Achilles tendon surgery will make it better if repaired, but it rarely approaches the intact tendon in its strength and tissue quality.
