Foot and ankle surgeon, Dr Casey Humbyrd, returns to JOSPT Insights to share the surgeon’s perspective on Achilles tendon repair.
What does she consider when helping patients to make a decision about surgery or no surgery? How does she perform the surgical repair, and why is she so fastidious with post-op restrictions?
