How Hero Braces Supports Torn Achilles Injuries With Custom Graduated Tarsal Bracing

When a dog suffers a torn Achilles tendon—whether treated surgically or conservatively—stability and controlled motion are essential for healing. At Hero Braces, we design custom tarsal braces specifically engineered to support this delicate recovery process, giving veterinarians the tools they need to protect the repair while gradually restoring mobility.

A Solid Start for Maximum Protection

Our Hero custom tarsal brace for Achilles injuries begins as a locked design that functions as a solid brace. This initial rigidity is critical. It keeps the joint aligned, supports the weakened tendon, and prevents unwanted motion that could compromise healing, especially in the early phase post-injury or post-surgery.

Hinge/Joint System for Progressive Rehabilitation

Our design incorporates an integrated hinge system. Although the brace starts solid, the hinges are already built into the structure. This allows the brace to transition seamlessly—without needing a full remake—as the patient progresses.

Adjustable Motion as the Patient Heals

As the veterinarian gives the green light to begin controlled movement, the brace can be adjusted to:

• Allow slight, protected motion during the early rehab stages

• Provide a controlled range of motion tailored to the dog’s strength and healing milestones
  
  

This staged approach helps rebuild tendon strength, prevents re-injury, and supports a smoother, safer return to normal activity.

Why This Matters

Achilles injuries can be complex and recovery often takes many months. A brace that evolves with the patient—offering both protection and measured mobility—helps veterinarians manage healing more precisely and helps pets stay comfortable and supported every step of the way.
