Tendon repair is a surgical procedure to treat a torn or damaged tendon – the soft stretchy tissues that connect muscles to the bone and helps to protect joints from damage. The purpose of Tendon Repair is to restore normal movement to a joint as tendon injuries are very painful and can make it difficult to move. Tendon repair is mostly performed on people with a deep cut that severs a tendon, an injury, or tears due to rheumatoid arthritis, or an injury from contact sports.
The total period for recovery can take around 12 weeks, but you should rest for 6 weeks to aid a speedy recovery. Make sure to ask your doctor about the recovery timeline. Also, remember that you should avoid doing any exercises (including therapy exercises) until your surgeon allows you to do so.
The sooner the procedure is carried out after injury, the higher the success rate. However, there are some minor side effects and risks associated with the procedure, including loss of joint use, re-tearing of the tendon, stiffness of the joint, scar tissue, as well as problems with anesthesia.Â
