@drpaulmaloof: One shot from the three-point line changed everything. This 15-year-old basketball player went up for a shot and immediately went down in pain after rupturing her Achilles tendon. While Achilles ruptures are commonly seen in adults, they’re much less common in young athletes, making this a unique and challenging case. The good news? We’re getting her fixed up and helping her start the road to recovery. Follow along as we take you through her treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation journey in the weeks ahead. 🏀💪 #AchillesTendon #SportsMedicine #BasketballInjury #OrthopedicSurgery #AthleteRecovery

And it just looked like a simple step too. I would’ve never thought that someone that age would have an injury like that. My goodness I hope she’s OK.

My nine year old nephew just had surgery yesterday. He tore his tendon that connects from his knee to his leg on a electric scooter

Tore my right achilles at 24 and docs were shocked I was that young, cant imagine that struggle at 15. Wishing her luck on the road to recovery!
