About 7 weeks ago, I fell threw a pane of glass with my right leg. the sharp edges of the broken glass cut my lower calf bad.
The wound is about 4 inches wide and 2 inches above calcaneus on the medial side.
I got 4 tendon ruptures:
-Achilles tendon (partial, 80% off)
-Tibialis posterior
-Flexor hallicius longus
-Flexor digitorum longus

Does anyone have experience of similar injury?

Nasty, hope you had a good surgical repair. If you did, despite nasty injury, you should get back to sport in 12 months if you didn't sever nerves and arteries.

I had luck, didnt cut of any nerves and arteries.

Its now 2 months after the accident, and things went better than i first thought.
3 weeks ago when I removed my cast, my foot was plantarflexed, I could move it up and down about 2-5 degrees. Now I reach up to the normal position. and almost can walk without crutches.
The physio said I could jogging and run maybe in may-june.
So now its just to keep struggeling with physio.
