I love these types of videos of different surgical procedures, it really gives you just a sample of what surgeons do if even that! the amount of years of education to do this i have so much respect for them.

If any bit of the tendon is missing due impacts or collisions, some hospitals cut up a cadaver to bridge it.
Only took a sideswipe from a motorcycle to learn that one.

If I tried to hang a picture frame by looping some thread around a screw it’d be on the ground in a day.. what am I missing?

I tore one when I was a teenager I remember hearing the snap then the pain. Sometimes I feel like playing tennis again in my 40s but seeing stuff like that reminds me to not lmao

I tore both my achilles; now I know why I’ve got two circle scars on my right heel.

What if the surgeon one day just rips it off and eats it like sashimi?

Wow – really helps to explain why professional athletes often struggle to return to 100% after an achilles injury!

My ex tore her Achilles and our hospital left her in the waiting room bleeding from her leg for like 3 hours then they just stitched her leg and put her foot in a cast and left it to heal like that. Left her with permanent issues in that leg.

Can they do this without flaying ones flesh?

Achilles heel —> Achilles healed.

As someone who had their Achilles repaired, watching this video made my whole ankle suffer the strangest of phantom feelings. 0/10 do not like.
Does this hurt the person
Damn…it really tears completely apart like that??
Ya that’s gonna be a no from me dawg
Saving for later… I hope I will never need to look it up though… 🤣
Thats nasty
Jesus this grosses me out for some reason… Just knowing that the achilles tendon can just tear is gross to me and gives me the heebie jeebies
Did that hurt?
I hate everything about this other than how amazing and helpful it is. everything else about it sucks though.
Remind me to never tear my Achilles
No thanks, I like the strings nature gave me to hold my ankle together.
*some doctors
*certain cases of a torn Achilles tendon
Note to self, do not tear Achilles tendon
Note to self: don’t rip Achilles heel.
I’ve seen these videos of them snapping ..seeing the calf ricochet up the back of the calf is gnarly
So will the tendon eventually heal back together, or will they need those screws and threads the rest of their life?
Fucking ow.
does the tendon heal? is the metal just there until it heals or does it just stay there forever?
How is tendon strong enough to be used as an anchor for threads but not strong enough to not tear so frustrating.
This is my worst nightmare. Literally
Even watching them drill into fake bone makes me squirm. 100% medical field is NOT for me.
Does the tendon ever actually reattach itself or is this how it stays for the rest of your life?

Jesus, I hope they do a better knot than that.
Just had my ruptured Achilles repaired. Don’t recall hearing anything about screws but I wasn’t exactly quizzing the doctor about the procedure.
