Re-rupture or not
Posted on August 21st, 2016 by nstan1224
It is 4 weeks and 2 days post-op have been in boot. Keep feeling this weird clicks and cracks I am scared I have re ruptured I have done nothing that could have caused that thought exempt for walking in the boot and sitting in a car. I have taken it out only to wash. Is there any possibility I could have re ruptured? Please reply back

Very unlikely. Clicks and clacks sounds a bit more like other joints in the area reacting to taking load. At your stage you can do some gentle ROM exercises like writing the alphabet with your foot. This will help loosen up the ankle area. You can take your leg out of the boot and have it fully supported except for the foot. A reclining chair would be good. Some massage of the tendon and foot is also good.
informative and interesting. thanks
