Actually It’s not that painful. I tore mine completely playing pickup ball and was more in shock and confused what happened. I thought someone kicked me, the sound was like bouncing the ball off the ground. Anyway I figured out what it was when giving a signal to the leg realizing it wasn’t working properly. Next thing I did was get a drink of water and drove myself to the ER. Thankfully it wasn’t my driving leg. Had surgery shortly there after, the most painful part was post surgery when the medicine was wearing off.

Practice the footwork (split feet or negative step). And DON'T let the heel of the back foot get anywhere close to touching the floor. You should be bouncing off the ball of your foot. Moore, KD, Dwight Powell & most who get injured this way have their heel almost touch the floor. Pogo hops is a good drill as well, to practice springing off the ball of your foot.

I felt that one. I haven't ripped any tendons yet but looking at that video, oh lord

As someone who has suffered this, it amazes me that players aren’t made more aware of the cause or at least the point of danger. It’s when the knee goes past the toes at any angle it’s then the Achilles is most vulnerable. Look at any snap you will see the knee is always past the toes. I’m talking from experience. It’s a horrible injury trust me.

@pyrophoria2206

2 жыл бұрын

The knee goes "past the toes" in normal running motion. It's clear that extreme forward flexion of the ankle is where these injuries happen, but to say that one should avoid letting the knee past the toes it foolish. Watch footage of someone running in slow motion. The knee comes well past the toes on every stride. There's nothing unsafe about that - the angle needs to be far more extreme.

@myjciskate4

There are ways to decrease that likelihood of injury and strengthen the tendon within those positions in basketball. PJF performance has some good videos on it. It's just that the NBA season is nonstop, and your body is basically in constant overtraining mode.

Definitely an achilles tear unfortunately. I'm currently two weeks out in a splint recovering from achilles tendon surgery. The 1st thing I felt when I tore the muscle is that someone mistakenly hacked the back of my foot. Justin had that exact same look - he looked back dazed that someone hit the back of his leg. Hope he has a speedy recovery

Ahhh!! Watching the actual moment the tendon detaches is something else. Just watched the KZread Ortho surgeon show a guy popping BOTH distill bicep tendons during seated arm curls.

Does training calves into a ROM that includes dorsiflexion help prevent this? Thank you

U are awesome Doc. Forgot I could click on u, instead, was wondering abt Moore.

Man this is so tough for nova, he’s such a huge part of their already SUPER small line up/offense.

We never saw this angle (obviously) live, and the way Moore didn't show much pain through facial expressions had me thinking it was nothing more than a bad ankle sprain. After seeing this there's no way it isn't a full Achilles rupture. It even looks very similar to Dwight Powell's a few years ago. Praying for a fast recovery. 🙏

No, I tore my Achilles after stretching for 20 minutes and feeling good. It happens from a cumulation of things, but the most common is weak toes and calves. Also, fatigue and overuse lead to overcompensation and misalignment of the foot. You want strong feet and calves so when you get tired you can properly transfer energy throughout the foot evenly.

I have torn mine the exact same way. what are the things that can be done so that tears like this would be prevented in the future? or is the negative step inherently puts one at risk of a AT rupture? I have torn mine last 2019 and have recovered, haven’t been playing a 100% because I am fearing that another negative step might tear my surgically repaired leg. :(

Break down Dorka’s Juhasz’s controversial wrist injury please.

I think it’s worth noting that a lot of these Achilles tears happen with a combination of significant dorsiflexion AND significant internal rotation of the knee relative to the foot. Something about this internal rotation seems to put the Achilles in a compromised position.

Could you do the 2013 Erik Karlsson 70% Laceration of his Achilles. I would love to here I sight on that. Even tho it's hockey and you don't see it through his skates it's still gruesome

I think you’ll have really limited mobility due to the scar tissue and that the collagen in the tendon would be replaced with a harder substance since it doesn’t want to tear again. You can regain some mobility to an extent with physical therapy but you won’t get the same range of motion as before.

Is this actually the statistical case found in the US? It boggles my mind how suturing the tendon together is = to letting the tendon ends find each other naturally.

if the achilles tendon injury results in an extreme stretching of the tendon (like taffy). Will it shrink back to it's original shape if its immobilized with lets say a week? or will it tend to stay stretched out and surgery is recommended?

What the heart attack ? Awhile back

I ruptured my Achilles tendon 14 months ago. When I started physical therapy my ankle with lock on the right side by that bone and so they would have to massage it manipulated so it would not be locked. In the last couple of weeks I've been experiencing cramps in my right calf and it's locking on the right side around that bone. What might be causing this and do I go back to ortho or who?

Another tell tale sign is how he looks back behind him after he goes down. Every one I’ve known that’s torn their Achilles acutely reports they felt like someone kicked them from behind. In game they will look behind with a, “who just kicked me” look.

It reminds me of KD's injury in 2019.

Tore my achilles in January of this year playing basketball. Pushed off my foot wrong I guess. It’s pretty incredible that’s it’s not that painful for how bad an injury it is. Rolling an ankle felt much worse. Going the no surgery route. I’m able to walk now, albeit very slowly and with a limp but progress is progress. I’m 33, so my pickup bball days may be done.
