Achilles tendon surgery
Achilles problems can be worrying, whether the tendon has suddenly ruptured or has become thickened and painful over months. Mr Kunasingam matches treatment to your activity level and goals, with accelerated rehabilitation to protect calf strength and get you moving confidently again.
What happens
Minimally invasive repair
Percutaneous repair restores tendon length through small incisions, substantially reducing the wound complication rate associated with open repair.
Tendinopathy surgery
For tendinopathy that has not responded to loading programmes, debridement, calcaneal reshaping and tendon transfer are used as required.
Accelerated rehabilitation
A functional boot protocol with early controlled movement gives a faster and stronger return than prolonged immobilisation in plaster.
