Misty May-Treanor is on the rebound.

The Olympic beach volleyball champ and Dancing With the Stars contender is on the mend after going under the knife this morning to repair the Achilles tendon she tore while rehearsing the jive last Friday.

"Thanks for all your concern and well wishes for Misty," her rep tells E! News. "Misty had a successful surgery on her ruptured Achilles this morning.

"She is currently at home and recovering. Her husband Matt is with her."

The crutch-wielding May-Treanor, 31, announced her withdrawal from DWTS on last night's episode of the ABC reality competition.

Still no word whether last week's reject, Kim Kardashian, will return for another spin on the dance floor.
