A tendon rupture occurs when a tendon, the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones, tears completely or partially. This injury often results from sudden movements, overuse, or trauma, and can affect various tendons in the body, such as the Achilles tendon in the ankle or the rotator cuff in the shoulder. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Treatment for tendon ruptures may involve rest, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity of the injury. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal recovery and to restore function to the affected limb. Rehabilitation exercises help strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve flexibility.
