Ok here we go. I tore both in the past:
Tear 1. 42 years old..complete tear, left leg, about 3" above the heal. Surgery, 2wks in a cast, then 2-4 weeks in a boot, then 6-8 wks pt.
Tear 2. 55 years old..80% tear,,same location ,right leg this time. No surgery, boot for several weeks,with adjustable heal,,did PT at home,,lots of just walking and using bands to stretch it. 90 days all mostly good. 6months running lightly again. Tore both playing Basketball. Good luck.
