Achilles tendon Repair in Bangalore

What is the Achilles Tendon?

The Achilles tendon is a powerful band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, allowing you to push off the ground when walking, running, and jumping.

What is Achilles Tendon Repair?

Achilles tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed to address a complete tear or severe partial tear in the tendon. The procedure involves:

  • Making an incision along the back of the heel to access the torn tendon.
  • Realigning the torn ends of the tendon.
  • Suturing the tendon together using specialized techniques to ensure proper healing.
  • In some cases, additional procedures like reinforcement with stitches or grafts from other tissues may be needed.

Benefits of Achilles Tendon Repair:

  • Improved strength and function in the affected leg
  • Reduced pain and stiffness
  • Faster return to activities
  • Reduced risk of re-rupture

Hospitalization Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Our team at Ishaan Ortho & Spine prioritizes your comfort and well-being throughout your Achilles tendon repair journey:

  • Pre-operative assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation, including physical examinations, imaging tests (X-rays, MRI), and a discussion about your symptoms and medical history, to diagnose the severity of the tear and determine if surgery is the right treatment option for you.
  • Surgical procedure: Our experienced orthopedic surgeons use advanced techniques to perform the repair, minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster healing. The procedure is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours.
  • Post-operative care: Our team closely monitors your progress and provides pain management medication to ensure your comfort. You’ll typically wear a protective boot or cast for several weeks to immobilize the ankle and allow the tendon to heal.
  • Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy starts soon after surgery to help regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in your ankle and calf muscles. This process is crucial for functional recovery and preventing future complications.
  • Discharge planning: We work with you to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan to continue your recovery at home. This plan may include exercises, pain management strategies, and instructions on gradually returning to normal activities.

Is Achilles Tendon Repair Right for You?

If you experience a sudden, sharp pain in the back of your heel, followed by difficulty walking, putting weight on the affected leg, or swelling and bruising, consulting with a qualified orthopedic specialist is crucial. Our team at Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore will help you understand your condition, explore the most effective treatment options, and guide you on the path to regaining strength and mobility in your ankle.

Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable. My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us. When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds. During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery. What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours. Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family. To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
