Partial Achilles Tendon Rupture

What is a partial rupture of the Achilles Tendon?

It is estimated that achilles tendonitis accounts for around 11% of all running injuries. The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle.

A partial rupture is where the tendon tears but not completely. Scar tissue will form and this can lead to inflammation of the tendon. Whilst the athlete is training he may well not feel the injury but will become aware of it later when the tendon has cooled down.

What are the symptoms of a partial achilles tendon rupture?

  • Somtimes a sudden sharp pain will be felt in the achilles tendon.
  • When returning to exercise after a short period of rest, there may be a sharp pain which disappears when warmed up only to return when stopped.
  • The achilles tendon will be stiff in the mornings
  • The tendon may have a small swelling in it.

Useful Products:

  • Cold therapy - apply ice or cold therapy to help relieve pain and inflammation.
