I have a patient that has been seen for 7 months by another PT for TP tear. He is getting surgery finally. He is work comp. I assume this will not go well. He is not bad off at this time. Dorsiflexion passively to 5 degrees and 60% inversion strength from substiution.

I have seen only 1 repair in 18 years --- not good - scar tissue pulled foot into inversion.

No reason he should not do well. I have seen quite a few, and even when old 80-year-old foots at hand, pain is reduced a good 90% and function almost completely restored.

I'm glad. He is motivated to get better. Doctor reports doing 5 a week.
