Vitali Klitschko, former heavyweight boxing world champion and current mayor of Kiev, suffers a torn Achilles tendon when sprinting!
He was immediately operated by Dr. Rembeck and Dr. Rauch at the ATOS Klinik München in Munich. The operation went excellently and the Achilles tendon rehabilitation has already started!
Vitali Klitschko sent us the following message of thanks together with his motivation picture:
“Unfortunately, the human body cannot always withstand extreme stress.
After my Achilles tendon rupture, I am healthy again thanks to the professionalism of Dr. Rembeck and his team of doctors and I am planning to run a marathon again soon.
You are the best! Thank you!!!”
Vitali Klitschko
Surgery on Achilles tendons, whether an Achilles tendon is torn, partially torn or chronically inflamed, is the second main focus of ECOM sports orthopedics (besides knee surgery). Numerous athletes from Germany and abroad undergo an Achilles tendon operation under Dr. Rembeck and Dr. Rauch every year.
We wish Vitali Klitschko all the best after his operation and a successful running comeback!
