Suggest Treatment To Re Attach An Achilles Tendon

I have had Achilles surgery on 5/11/2017 and had a revision again on 10/30/2017 because the first one failed. I had a 3rd surgery on 4/05/2018 because of an infection I developed and now I am told there is nothing more they can do to reattach my Achilles tendon. Do you know if there may be any other options available to me for a successful reattachment?
