Why does connective tissue take so long to heal?
Tendons heal slowly because they are continuously used every time the muscle it is attached to flexes and relaxes. The best way to heal a tendon is to discontinue using the limb of the affected tendon. Since that is not always possible it is best to use it the least amount possible. A heating pad at night time will help with pain relief. Some athletes and other people will use a product like Ben Gay for relief but it is not intended for a cure.
How does a hinged cam walker work and aid during Achilles tendon healing?
I have experience with the VACOcast Achilles boot (www.vacocast.com) which is hinged and can be fixed in 30 or 15 degrees of plantar flexion (toes pointing downward in order to reduce tension on the Achilles tendon). When the ankle is fixed in plantar flexion, also known as equinus, it allows the injury to heal without risk of rupture or re-rupture. As the tendon heals, the orthopedic surgeon will gradually reduce the amount of equinus until the ankle is at neutral, or 90 degrees. This safely increases the amount of tension and avoids unwanted shortening of the Achilles tendon.
