Achilles Tendon

In most cases pathology of the Achilles tendon can be treated without surgery. Various forms of injection including "high volume techniques" can be utilised prior to considering surgery. At times though, the problem can become chronic and surgery is advised. This can consist of removal of the fibrosed damaged tissue around the tendon and repair of any tears or diseased fibres. Surgery can often be performed under local anaesthetic on a day care basis.
