6-12 months: Depending on the type of surgery and extent of tendon involvement. Most procedures allow walking within 2-6 weeks of the surgery, with full recovery within the 6-12 month range. Of course, you should have an informed and extensive discussion with your surgeon prior to surgery.

Achilles: If complete rupture you can count on a range from 8-12 weeks to heal then many weeks of physical therapy.
