I had an Achilles rupture which had been treated conservatively, with a boot and without surgery, but it had healed too long and so was not functional. I first saw Mr Dawe after the initial conservative treatment under the NHS when he diagnosed the problem and recommended surgery to make a mid-substance speedbridge repair. Mr Dawe said that the surgery went well although I think it must have been challenging due to the scarring and adhesions around the healed tendon. The wound healed well, with no complications, and under Mr Dawe's guidance and referral to physiotherapy, the tendon is now back to the normal length and function. Mr Dawe was empathetic and caring throughout, giving clear explanations of the problem and what to expect from the surgery and post-surgery management.
