Tendon Repair
Tendon repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing damaged or torn tendons, which are the fibrous tissues connecting muscles to bones. This type of injury often occurs due to sports activities, accidents, or repetitive strain. The surgery can involve stitching the torn ends of the tendon together or using grafts to restore its function.
After the procedure, patients typically undergo a rehabilitation program to regain strength and flexibility. Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury and the specific tendon involved, such as the Achilles tendon or rotator cuff. Proper rehabilitation is crucial for a successful outcome.
