Tenoraphia

Tenorrhaphy is a surgical operation aimed at restoring the integrity of a tendon when it ruptures. It is performed when the tendon has been damaged and cannot function normally.

Tenorrhaphy is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 1-2 hours. The operation begins with a skin incision through which the surgeon gains access to the tendon. The surgeon then removes the damaged area of ​​tissue and sutures the ends of the tendon. After this, a sterile bandage is applied and the patient goes home.

After surgery, the patient must follow the doctor's recommendations, such as limiting physical activity and using special bandages. There may be some swelling and tenderness in the surgical area for a few weeks after surgery, but this should go away with time.

Overall, tenorrhaphy is an effective treatment for tendon rupture, restoring its integrity and returning the patient to normal function. However, before performing the operation, it is necessary to undergo an examination by a specialist to determine the possibility of its implementation and choose the optimal method.
