If the Achilles tendon ruptures, you may hear a pop, followed by a sharp pain in the back of the ankle and lower leg that will likely affect the ability to walk properly. Some patients experiencing an achilles tendon rupture may assume they have only suffered a painful sprain. Surgeons often need to perform surgery to repair the rupture. For many patients however, nonsurgical treatment can work just as well. If you've experienced an injury centering on the back of the calf area, please contact Texas Orthopedic and Spine Associates for a consultation with one of our Orthopedic Specialists.
