Dworska Hospital - When is an operation for suturing a torn Achilles tendon?

CONTACT: contact@dworska.pl | +48 12 352 25 25

Achilles tendon suturing should be performed as soon as possible - no later than 6 weeks after the injury. The longer the procedure is delayed, the greater the risk of shortening and atrophy of the calf triceps muscle. An early procedure allows the Achilles tendon to be fully restored using classical methods, without the need to extend the tendon or harvest grafts.
