Can Cast On The Foot Prevent Re-rupture Of Foot Following Achilles Repair?
Hi am 4 week post op on a delayed achilles repair. My foot is in a cast, moved to a flat (90 degree) position yesterday. I slipped over and put full wright on it which resulted in a sharp pins and needles pain in the heel for a second or two. Will the cast have prevented a re-rupture? Am hoping so.

Hi,
Since you are in a cast with 90 degrees, the possibility of any major injury are virtually non existent. So I think that you can go on with your life.If you still feel something is wrong, then please consult your surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
