About this episode

In this episode with Scott Greenberg, we explore an interesting case study on a real patient of his - a gymnast who had an Achilles rupture and went down the surgical path. We discuss: 

  • How to determine surgical vs conservative management
  • The key indicators of success for surgical management
  • Return to sport after surgical management

This episode is closely tied to Scott’s case study he did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
