Tendon Surgery
What is Tendon Surgery?
Tendon surgery or tendon repair, also known as surgery for tendonitis, is a medical procedure aimed at treating torn or damaged tendons. Tendons are the flexible and cord-like tissues that link muscles to bones. Their contraction enables the movement of joints by pulling the bones. However, when tendons are damaged, it can result in restricted movement, weakness, and pain. Tendon surgery can be beneficial for individuals who experience painful tendon injuries that hinder joint mobility.

When do I need Tendon surgery?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to consider tendon surgery:
Tears: When your tendon has suffered significant damage or partial tearing, surgery may be necessary to repair it effectively.
Ruptures: Complete tendon ruptures often require surgical intervention to restore function and mobility.
Inflammation: Chronic inflammation that doesn’t respond to conservative treatments may require surgical solutions to alleviate pain and discomfort.
Long-Term Overuse Problems: Conditions resulting from overuse, like tendinosis or degeneration, may benefit from surgical procedures to promote healing and long-term relief.
Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations for your tendon concerns.

While there isn't a quick fix for Achilles tendonitis, there are things you can do to reduce pain, encourage healing, and hasten recovery. It's crucial to remember that recovery times might vary, and attempting to fix the illness quickly under duress might make it worse.
Delaying advice and treatment may result in your achilles tendonitis developing into a chronic condition that may be more difficult to cure and more likely to return in the future. Therefore, it's crucial to take action toward therapy and rehabilitation.
After treatment or surgery, tendons frequently mend and resume their normal functions, especially if the injury or ailment is not severe. The degree and kind of damage, the procedure used for treatment or surgery, and the patient's adherence to post-operative care and rehabilitation all affect a tendon's capacity to heal.
Tendon surgery entails several potential risks, such as the development of scar tissue that can impede joint mobility, a reduced range of motion, stiffness, and the possibility of re-injury.
