How bad is a Ruptured Achilles tendon
If the achilles tendon is ruptured then it would need to be surgically repaired. Most achilles tendinitis treatment involves non-surgical methods. Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery can be successful, but achieving maximum results after a surgery like this is unlikely.
The treatment for a ruptured Achilles tendon depends on the severity of the rupture. For minor to moderate ruptures the treatment includes resting the leg, using an ice pack on the affected area, leg elevation and taking anti-inflammatory pain killers. For more severe cases, it is necessary for a cast or even surgery.
