A member asked:

Can a 11 month insubstance tear in central insertional fibres of the distal archilles tendon heal without surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Partial tears might: If it is a complete tear, no. If it is a partial tear, there is a chance that it might heal without surgery. A medical boot that limits movement of the Achilles tendon , one that immobilizes the ankle, would certainly be needed.
