Dr. Matthew Harb specializes in minimally invasive, muscle sparing, hip and knee replacement surgery. Minimally invasive surgery allows patients to recover faster and have less pain post operatively. Implants are tailored and custom fit to each patient to allow for improved performance. Dr. Harb’s expertise in rapid recovery protocols allow for quick recovery after surgery and excellent outcomes in patients with hip and knee arthritis. With minimally invasive, muscle sparing surgery patients can return to their lifestyles and get back to doing the things they love sooner. Dr. Harb performs outpatient joint replacement surgery with many of his patients walking independently and going home the day of surgery.

“My focus is excellence in patient care, expedited recovery after surgery, and getting people back to the normal activities they love. Our team focused approach is committed to superb outcomes, improving lives, and returning patients to living pain free.”

My teacher stepped off a curb wrong, heard a loud snap, and fainted before she could feel the pain. I'm not sure she needed that test then.

I'm recovering from achillies reconstruction surgery.. holy moly did the rupture hurt..they did this test on me and my foot has just hanging there

[blackpantherdjbpgamer]

When I had the tendon torn, It lasted for several months and I could barely walk. It was one of the worst pains ever.

How about screaming in all the pain hell could think off

Optimal treatment of acute Achilles Rupture is a highly contested topic[13], but can be broken down into:

Open Operative

Percutaneous Operative

Nonoperative Types.[5]

If a physician advocates for a non-surgical approach, the foot is typically placed in a cast or splint, such that it is held in plantar flexion. This treatment can be combined with early physiotherapy.[14]

More recently, evidence-based guidelines for managing Achilles Tendon Rupture have been released by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). None of the recommendations have a grading of "strong", but consensus recommendations based on expert opinion advocate the need for a detailed patient history and physical examination in diagnosis.[9][13] The group also recommends a more cautious approach in operative treatment for certain patients, including those with diabetes and/or neuropathy, aged 65 or older, who are obese or who have sedentary lifestyles, who are immuno-compromized, and who use tobacco.[9] The only recommendations rated as "moderate" in strength (fair quality evidence) were specifically for post-operative interventions. These were the suggestions for:

Protective weight bearing and

Use of a protective device that allows mobilization 2-4 weeks post-operatively.[13][9]

A review on the topic advocates for educating patients on the potential risks and benefits of each type of treatment, including operative and nonoperative types.[13]

No I just think it’s because I’m paralysed from the waist down on my one leg-

Another way to know is if you felt an absolutely excruciating and agonizing pain in your achilles are and lost ability to walk you might have torn your tendon

[debbiecaldarulo]

My dog emploded mine now My big toe tendon is now my Achilles tendon

[mkenobi]

Insurances will cover treatment for that droopy left eyelid Dr. Harb

[AtroGD]

I ve definitely done something with my achilles and I've just had to deal with it for 6 weeks walking, running, jumping and I am in constant agony. Just did this test and got someone else to do it. It happened when I did 200, 000 steps in a span of 3 days BTW.

I might have partially popped my Achilles but my doctor told me it's fine only rest when it hurts. It's been a week and I'm still in a lot of pain and the pains spreading. It was a pop sound at the back of my heel. I was standing on my tip toes reaching for a container at work

[floydmcmullen]

I don't know if you ever completely recover from that and somebody that just never ever recovered completely

[mrduck]

I saw this tried it out and played with my muscle for like 5 mins

[kinzieconrad]

I have lived with a 30% ACL Tare for 20+ years

[TMX.-]

I think the sound alone can tell you if it snapped

[theconfederacyofindependen]

The KX-3's akilly's tending is a set of strong wires part of the Traction and controls surface. The pilot and copilot will move the KX-3's feet via throttle. It's not necessary now cause the KX-3's engines will work. Thus that's why her feet will planerflex even if the "tenden" already Ruptured

[Beparepa]

Two guys I know we're sitting in there car when another guy I knew "who is now dead shot to death " drove past and shot at them the bullet went through drivers forearm and bounced of the door hitting the passenger right on the Achilles tendon. It was hanging by a thread but enough was left for them to repair it.

[Warthunderspecialist]

I have achillies tendinitis it hasnt gone for around 3 years

[theconfederacyofindependen]

That's why we say "akilly's heel"
