if doctors are suggesting you surgery then there must be good chance that you will benefit from surgery although there might be chance that results are not good
Remember your condition is very rare and rare disorder are difficult to treat as very less number of patients are there to follow up.
I never came across any such case although I heard about absence of tendon in apes.
please consider a different diagnosis or show to orthopedics surgeon for other opinion.
Absent tendoachilles is unknown
