Will my ankle be stiff after Tendon Achilles Surgery?
It is important that you follow your surgeon’s instructions with regards to exercising the ankle to avoid complications of stiffness in the ankle. Exercises are very important, as most of the ankle’s strength comes from the muscles surrounding it and not from the tendons or ligaments. You will not harm the ankle by doing strengthening exercises as recommended by your surgeon or physiotherapist. These should be performed according to the directions.
