Key symptoms include sharp ankle pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Diagnosis involves clinical exams and imaging such as MRI. Risk factors include sudden activity increases, age, previous tendon issues, and improper footwear. Treatments vary from surgical repair to non-surgical immobilization, depending on patient activity and tear severity. Rehabilitation is crucial for restoring strength and flexibility, with recovery typically lasting six to twelve months. Preventing re-rupture involves adherence to rehabilitation, gradual return to activity, and maintaining calf strength. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment ensure better outcomes and reduce long-term complications. This overview aids in recognizing symptoms, understanding causes, and exploring effective management of Achilles ruptures.
