partial tear in itself is a serious injury. You should wear a non weight-bearing cast in a plantarflexed position for minimum of 4-6 weeks. Once out of the cast you will require physical therapy to stretch the tendon/ muscle to 10 degrees of dorsiflexion. With your knee not bent do you stretch. If only a few fibers are torn proper healing still required

Is an emg test necessary if the MRI shows c4, C5 and C6 nerves pinched. Have c4, C5 and C6 ruptured disc in neck with C4 C5 and C6 pinched nerves on right side and C6 nerve pinched on left side. Have had bone scan, and CT and now doctor is wanting emg.
Does a full-thickness tear of the Achilles Tendon mean a complete rupture? Or does it mean that there is a tear going though the entire tendon depth?
