Achilles Tendon Lengthening refers mostly to a surgical procedure whereby the tendon is stretched to allow a child or adult to walk flat-footed without a bend in the knee or to relieve chronic pain. The procedure is designed to lengthen a tendon that has not formed properly or has been injured.
Best Answer: There are two answers here, it depends on the severity of the injury. If the tendon has been completely severed, a short, minimally invasive surgical procedure is necessary. Tendons are under tension, similar to rubber bands in the body. When severed, the two ends will pull away from each other the same way they would if you put a rubber band under stress and cut one side with a pair of scissors. In surgery, an incision is made to expose the area from tendon nub to tendon nub.
