This forum is for people to just say, in as few words as possible, things like date, which leg, activity involved, management and place.

We can then collect the figures together.

So for me it is: -

Rupture 1
3rd Oct 2002
Right Leg
Karate training session
Bradford, UK.
Conservative

Rupture 2
15 Jan 2003
Re-rupture right leg
Physiotherapy session, going on tip-toes.

Let's hear from you all.
