Not the Achilles but when I was 22 I completely ruptured the Anterior Tibialus (the tendon on the front/top part of the foot) and did some other soft-tissue damge in a bad bicycle crash. Had to do graft surgery, hard cast, moon boot, and PT. The PT is very important to get your strength and range of motion back.

To this day, it still gets sore sometimes, especially when a rain storm is coming (go figure). But the doc said it is actually stronger than the uninjured leg and not to worry about using it 100%.
