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
