    Mild Achilles tendon injury can be recovered after a period of rest in a plaster cast, but complete Achilles tendon rupture must be re-sutured through surgery, and the ** period is particularly long, and the shortest time is half a year. What's even worse is that the Achilles tendon will become more fragile after it is broken once, just like a rubber band is broken, and it can barely be used when glued together, but if you want to return to the state before the break, it must be useless.
