Partially torn achilles tendon – who has had this repaired?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

so, apparently I partially tore my achilles tendon last night (playing b-ball). The Ortho Dr. that I saw today gave me two options...surgery to repair it or a full cast to let it heal. He gave the % chance or reinjury and pros/cons of each but I wanted some unbiased feedback from folks that have had this injury. Which option did you choose...why...are you happy you made that choice, etc. I am a very active 30 yr old male (if that helps) and wish to return to being fully active ASAP.
