Overview

Achilles Tendon Tear: Care Instructions—Your Care Instructions

You have ruptured or torn your Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon (also called the heel cord) connects the calf muscles on the back of the lower leg to the bone at the base of the heel.

Treatment for an Achilles tendon injury depends on whether the tendon has been partially torn or completely ruptured. A cast or splint can often treat a partial tear. If your tendon has ruptured, you may need surgery. You and your orthopedic doctor will choose a treatment plan, so it is important to go to any follow-up appointments.
