Alex Trebek Achilles Tendon

Mr Jeopardy himself tore his Achilles tendon yesterday while chasing after a burglar. He tripped and fell and also hurt his other leg in the process. This is terrible news for him. He is going to have surgery done Friday July 29th. With Achilles tendon ruptures, it could take up to a year to make a full recovery from this type of injury.

Sometimes we will see Achilles Tendon Ruptures with weekend warriors. This occurs when one just goes out playing a sport and running without doing any warm up or exercise. Typically with Achilles Ruptures one will feel as if someone had kicked them in the back of their leg. Not everyone needs surgery for this. Should you have any Achilles injuries, please consult your Podiatrist for treatment.
