After my op, and 1 month of blood thinners i still went through DVT & PE.. on the 33rd day after my op just 3 days after i stopped the blood thinners i had bad pain on my calf felt like a cramp, which i ignored and turned into a PE. Wish all people that go through this injury best of luck and stay strong ! Running at 4 months, seems a bit too early ? Great video btw :)
Hi I'm at my 4th after surgery. Foot is in the cast pointed downward. The cast is very hard from under the foot to the back of the calf.And i can stand on it at the heel. My question is will i have to wear the boot after the cast is removed?
Because the sutures only withstand a certain amount of force. There is no way a suture would withstand the forces that happen in neutral position of the foot. Of course there are different suture technics that allow an earlier loading than others, but because the tendon takes, compared to other tissues, a long time to heal because of his indirect blood supply the foot needs to stay in plantarflexion to prevent too much stress on the tendon in the earlier recovery stage.
Everyone is different. Just look at Aaron Rodger’s. He was walking with assistance in a sneaker with brace at 17 days. David Beckham was back playing soccer in less than 6 months.
Excellent commentary, Well explained.
Isn’t the VACOped boot much better as it’s designed to keep your foot in a position without using lifts? Do you recommend that boot?

I had AT surgery 9 week back
Still unable to walk without support
Last two days have some pain in ankle
If its surgically repaired why use wedges in the aircast and not go straight into a flat foot position?
