A member asked:
I ruptured my achilles last night and had a cast put on today. they are going to change it to a boot in a few days. i have a holiday booked to spain in 6 weeks (3hr flight). will this be ok?

Auptured achiles tendon usually requires surgical repair; If for some reason you get a boot. ask the doc placing the boot as we do not know the extent of your injury. have a nice vacation.
