The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the human body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Injury to this tendon can be:

  • Acute Achilles tear – sudden rupture often caused by trauma or high-impact sports

  • Chronic Achilles tear – degeneration over time due to overuse, tendinopathy, or repeated micro-injuries

Dr. Karnav Panchal, a leading foot and ankle specialist in Ahmedabad, emphasizes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent disability and restore normal function.

Patients may experience:

  • Sudden severe pain at the back of the ankle

  • Swelling and bruising around the heel

  • Difficulty walking, running, or standing on tiptoe

  • Audible “pop” at the time of rupture

  • Weakness in the calf muscle

  • Chronic pain and stiffness in chronic tears

Dr. Karnav Panchal identifies several causes:

  • Sudden, high-impact trauma or fall

  • Sports-related injuries (football, cricket, basketball, running)

  • Chronic overuse leading to tendinopathy

  • Age-related degeneration of the tendon

  • Improper warm-up or stretching before physical activity

  • History of ankle or calf injuries

Diagnosis of Achilles Tendon Tear

Accurate diagnosis is critical. Dr. Karnav Panchal uses:

  • Physical examination for tenderness, swelling, and gap in tendon

  • Thompson test to confirm tendon rupture

  • X-ray to rule out bone fractures

  • MRI to assess severity and location of tendon tear

  • Ultrasound for real-time evaluation of tendon structure

This ensures a precise treatment plan tailored to each patient’s injury.

Conservative Treatment Options

For partial tears or mild injuries, conservative treatment may be recommended:

  • Rest and immobilization with a cast or brace

  • Ice therapy to reduce swelling

  • Anti-inflammatory medications

  • Gradual physiotherapy for strengthening and flexibility

  • Use of heel lifts or orthotic devices

Early conservative care under Dr. Karnav Panchal helps prevent worsening of the condition and supports recovery.
