A member asked:

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?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

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.

Dr Baez and another doctor agreed

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