ReRuptur

ReRuptur is a term used to describe the process of a previously ruptured tendon or ligament re-tearing or re-injuring. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including improper rehabilitation, excessive stress on the injured area, or a recurrence of the initial injury. The most common sites for re-ruptures are the Achilles tendon, rotator cuff tendons, and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee.

The risk of re-rupture is influenced by several factors, such as the severity of the initial injury, the quality of rehabilitation, and the individual's activity level. Proper rehabilitation, including a gradual return to activity, is crucial to prevent re-rupture. This typically involves a period of rest, followed by a structured program of exercises to regain strength and flexibility.

ReRuptur can lead to further damage and a prolonged recovery period. It may also increase the risk of chronic issues, such as chronic pain and reduced range of motion. Therefore, it is essential to follow a rehabilitation program closely and seek medical advice if any issues arise during the recovery process.
