A member asked:
I had my achilles' tendon removed a few months ago, what are my options going forward?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achelles tendon: I am not sure that you had your achilles tendon "removed." if it is really removed then you will need some type of lower leg brace in order to stand and may have to have your ankle fused as well. In any case the surgeon that you are working with will be able to answer this best as they know your circumstances very well. Good luck to you.
