The best Orthopedic and Spine specialist in Navi mumbai, Dr. Sonal Bansal explains about Achilles Tendon Rupture. The Achilles tendon is band of tissue that connects the calf muscle to the heel. If stretched too far, the tendon can tear, or rupture, causing pain in the ankle and lower leg that can make it difficult or impossible to walk. Such rupture often occurs as a result of repeated stress on the tendon while playing outdoor game.
An Achilles tendon may rupture if it has been previously over-stretched or weakened by: Poor stretching habits prior to exercise. Tight or weak calf muscles. Wearing shoes that do not fit properly. Engaging in physical activity after a long break
