Episode description

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?

Dr Humbyrd is a champion for physical therapy, and underscores wound care, person-centred care, and why tension can help the Achilles!
