Achilles Lengthening In October

Edit Post

I'll be getting this in October, as well as nails removed, and some releases done on both gastroc muscles. I also need to have a slight varus on my left leg corrected, but it can be done through a wedge technique at the same time the nail is removed. This is decided after being almost 3 years post op with still limited mobility and tight muscles.

The doctor thinks I'll have normal dorsiflexion and mobility after all is said and done. I stressed that I am anguished by not being able to run or perform squats and it affected my mental well-being.

Walking is fine, but could be regarded as stiff. Have you had it done? What would there be to regret?

I'll take your advice into consideration  before I go through with this. I appreciate the candor. What kind of complications have you dealt with? The doctor made it same that the pin hole technique is relatively complication free and leaves the tendon intact otherwise.
