  3. one more thing before I go….I think I have saved so much money because I can only pick up things that I really need… No more shopping til I drop….LOL :O)

  4. Stephanie,

    I think I’ll have to add that one to: Bright Side of ATR ;)

    Welcome to the ATR team. I wish you speedy recovery. How is the walking going for you?

  5. Dr. Ross, do you have chapter 6 from the article “About Tendons and Ligaments”? I would love to see that since it talks about the most effective rehab exercises.

    Thanks

    Jim

  6. Dennis..

  7. Good news!

    It’s taken a few weeks for me to get hold of this paper:
    Early Weightbearing and Ankle Mobilization after Open Repair of Acute Midsubstance Tears of the Achilles Tendon

    I was able to get it through a personal contact.. here it is:
    http://achillesblog.com/atr-rehab-protocols/

    It may be on this site temporaily as it’s an article you have to pay to access.. :?

  8. If there are other articles that you wanted to read, but you could read only the abstract (requiring a fee or a subscription), please let me know, and I’ll see if I can also get those too.

    If there are issues with legality of this, then I’ll have to take it down at some point, and I may have to do my best to summarize the findings instead.

  9. These were terrific! Thank you for sharing!

  10. Dennis,

    As Doc Ross said donation time, keep up the good work !

    :)

  11. Hi, I just had my op to repair my ATR 3 weeks ago I will be seeing my dic in a couple of days to remove the staples and replace the cast. Please advise what am I expecting to come when I see my doc for my first follow up? Thank you
