What is Tendon Repair?
Tendon Repair is a crucial procedure aimed at restoring proper function and strength to tendons after injury. It involves surgically repairing the damaged or torn tendon, enabling the return of strength, range of motion, and overall function of the affected joint or limb.
What happens during Tendon Repair surgery?
Tendon repair surgery typically involves using local or general anesthesia, depending on the location and complexity of the injury. The surgeon makes incisions over the injured tendon, repairs the damage, and closes the incisions with sutures or surgical staples. The procedure may also involve additional techniques such as tendon grafts or transfers.
