Rashmika Mandanna’s Hip Injury Prompts Questions About Safe Work Return
Rashmika Mandanna Recovers From Hip Injury: When Is It Safe To Return To Work After An Injury? · NDTV

Rashmika Mandanna hurt a tendon near her hip while doing a demanding dance scene.

Tendons connect muscles to bones and help the body move.

She said one tendon on her right side had detached and needed time to reattach.

The exact injury and its seriousness have not been explained publicly.

A small tendon strain may get better in two to six weeks.

A partial tear can take six to twelve weeks or longer to heal.

A complete tear may need even more time and sometimes specialist treatment.

Feeling less pain does not always mean the tendon is fully healed.

Doctors say people should return to hard exercise or performance gradually and only after proper assessment.
