According to Bupa

Surgery

Surgery is usually recommended for active young people.

There are three main types of surgery used to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Open surgery. Your surgeon will make one long cut in your leg to reach the tendon and repair it.
Limited open surgery. Your surgeon will still make a single cut but it will be shorter.
Percutaneous surgery. Your surgeon will make a number of small cuts to reach the tendon and will repair it.
In all types of surgery, your surgeon will stitch the tendon together so it can heal. Each type of surgery has different risks – open surgery is less likely to injure one of the nerves in your leg for example, but has a higher risk of infection. Ask your surgeon to explain the risks in more detail.

After your operation you will have a series of casts or an adjustable brace on your leg to help your Achilles tendon heal. This will usually be for between four and eight weeks.

After your treatment

Once your cast or brace is removed you will need to gradually increase your activity to strengthen the tendon. Your doctor, or a physiotherapist (a health professional who specialises in maintaining and improving movement and mobility), will give you a number of exercises to do, which will increase the range of movement and strength in your lower leg.

Your physiotherapist may try various techniques to reduce any pain you have. These may include exercises and soft tissue techniques (deep tissue massage). He or she will also advise you on how to return to exercise. You should be able to return to activity six months after your injury. However, this may take longer and will also depend on the activity.

The club has an excellent doctor now and I am sure CMS will be totally fixed, just down to him to endure hours of physio.

Get well soon Craig. We need you tearing up the turf and putting the fear of the almighty into the opposition defence. What we don't need is having to recall Dobbie as cover. Difficult to imagine anyone looking more disinterested. All the best mate.

What motivational words for our most expensive signing to carry him through tedious weeks of recovery work

:albion2:

Meesage for Gus yesterday

“First and foremost this is a big blow. He is our top scorer, he was having a great season. By halfway through the season he was on 11 goals It’s a real blow for the rest of our season. We will see if we can sort it out. I don’t know the type of player we will get but it’s not going to be the same as Macca.”
