Can i play golf after complete achilles' tendon removed after wound and skin graft is healed and are tendon transfers for achilles sucessful?

Yes: Achilles tendon reconstructions can enable one to regain push off strength required for playing golf. It usually entails transfering a tendon/muscle unit (usually the flexor hallicus longus) and potential an allograft for the gastrox and soleus muscles. Running after same is unlikely but sometime possible.

Would say: Yes if everything is healed and went through therapy. Won't have same power and don't think it will help your scores any.
