A member asked:
Could a re-rupture of a achilles tendon after 12 weeks from the initial surgical repair be the fault of the doctor ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You're asking for a second opinion, and it would be difficult to provide that opinion without knowing everything involved in the surgery and post operative care. I am sure you are well aware that unlike mathematics, medicine is not an exact science. Let's not place blame on the surgeon, but rather focus on the next step towards healing.
