Description
Hubert Hörterer and co-authors wrote a study from 2024 on repeat surgery for a painful heel tendon problem. The tendon joins the calf muscle to the heel bone, and it can wear down where it meets the bone. First-time surgery for this problem follows a clear plan. Much less is known about what happens when that first surgery fails and a second one is tried.
The team tracked patients at one large center who had the repeat surgery and checked on them at least a year later. Nineteen of the twenty-four patients took part in the final check, about four to five years on. Their pain and function scores were far better than before surgery. Still, only about one third felt as well as healthy people do.
