Tendon Repair Surgery: How It Resurrects Both Mobility and Functionality

Tendons constitute important soft tissues connecting muscles to bones. Their primary function is to facilitate movement by allowing the recorded transmission of muscular forces to the bones, thereby allowing a wide range of motions. However, tendon injuries resulting from road accidents, falling down, or cutting may render an individual immobile or incapable of performing some tasks. Such injuries could make a limb weak and even pseudo-paralytic, making movement of the joint either difficult or impossible. Tendon repair surgery may be used to recover mobility and eliminate pains resulting from tendon injuries.

What does the tendon repair surgery entail?

Tendon repair refers to a surgical procedure for getting a severed or ruptured tendon repaired, so that healing may take place and normal function restored. The surgeon would have made an incision near the wrist, hand, or finger where the tendon had been cut. Now within these spaces, the surgeon will search for the two ends of the damaged tendon, and he will appose the ends and sew them together properly. 

In some cases, when the tendon injury is indeed quite severe, an individual may need to undergo tendon graft. This procedure involves using a normal healthy tendon from some other part of the body to replace the damaged tendon. This provides the best possible recovery outcome, especially where a greater volume of tendon is damaged.

Importance of Tendon Repair

Injury to the tendons severely restricts movement and gives rise to great pain. So long as tendons do not lend the desired function, their condition grows into stiffness, weakness, and sometimes even leads to joint immobility. Thus, tendon repair surgery constructs the entire functionality of the limb in question and prevents it from long-term conditions such as instability of joints or chronic pain.

Tendon repair also enables a patient to return to normal functioning, whether this be work, sports, or daily tasks. The sooner one is treated, the faster will be the recovery process.
