Achilles Tendon Rupture

I ruptured my achilles tendon in july of last year. After my sugery I was told that I could not play any sports for a full year.
Is it ok to start playing basketball again now (about 2 months short of the full year mark) and what is the ideal ankle brace to wear when starting sports again. thanks

    I think you should listen to your surgeon and wait the full year with any demanding sports, especially basketball. I would recomend that you start a sports physical therapy program now to get in ready and in shaped for sports.
