Tendon Repair
Tendon Repair is surgery done to treat a torn or otherwise damaged tendon. Tendons are the soft, band-like tissues that connect muscles to bone. When the muscles contract, the tendons pull the bones and cause the joints to move.
When tendon damage occurs, movement may be seriously limited. The damaged area may feel weak or painful.
Tendon repair surgery may be helpful for people who have tendon injuries that are making it difficult for them to move a joint or are very painful.
It is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing a torn or damaged tendon, which is a tough band of tissue that connects muscle to bone. When a tendon gets injured, it can cause pain, weakness, and limited movement. During tendon repair surgery, the surgeon reattaches the torn ends of the tendon using special sutures or anchors to hold them together. This helps restore the tendon’s strength and function. After surgery, patients typically undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation to allow the tendon to heal properly and regain strength. Physical therapy exercises are often prescribed to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall function of the repaired tendon. While recovery may take time, tendon repair can significantly improve a person’s ability to move and perform daily activities without pain or limitation.
Tendon repair is like fixing a broken rope in your body. When a tendon gets injured, it can make moving difficult and painful. So, Dr. Kanika Singla, a skilled surgeon, helps mend the torn tendon. She carefully sews it back together, allowing it to heal properly. With her help, people can regain strength and movement in their injured body parts.
