Complete tear, but I knew right away what I had to do re not going into dorsiflexion. Just needed to get the cast ASAP and I did. Surgery outcomes are about the same as conservative so long as you’re in the cast inside of a day or two.
The heel lifts are funny eh, you get wheeled into the fracture clinic (here in Canada anyway) for the cast removal and then they tell you that you have to walk out lol, real baptism by fire moment.
Sounds like you’re going to do this without me telling you but walk on that thing with as much load as possible in the boot ASAP and often. I was pacing my hallways basically all day every day for the duration of the boot phase.
How did you find the surgery? I assume it’s still two weeks in a cast after right? And do you have that rehab sheet everyone gets? I wonder if ours are the same.
Yo!
- take the rehab seriously
- find a centre with a weightless treadmill
- start lifting weights as soon as possible - even in the boot
- start doing mini calf raises (seated with something on your thigh) asap
you always have a little more in the tank than you think!
