Tore tendon in middle toe. dr. says surgery is complex, but probably will produce best healing.have worn compression for 6 wks. seeking other opinions?

Cast: Possibility of adequate healing in a cast if positioned right and if the tear is compatible. However, surgery will probably be the best option for it to heal the best.

Surgery: Is only complex if the tendon rolled up into foot, otherwise its faily straight forward.
