Hand and foot tendon repairs are surgical procedures performed to repair damaged or torn tendons in the hand or foot. Tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones, allowing for movement and stability of the joints. Injuries to these tendons can occur due to trauma, overuse, or degenerative conditions and may result in pain, weakness, and limited function. Before surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, which may include physical examination, imaging studies (such as X-rays or MRI), and assessment of the extent and severity of the tendon injury. The surgical procedure is typically performed under local or regional anesthesia, which numbs the affected area while allowing the patient to remain awake.
Once the tendon is exposed, the surgeon carefully evaluates the extent of the injury and may trim any damaged or frayed tissue to create clean, healthy tendon ends for repair. The surgeon uses specialized techniques to repair the tendon(s), which may involve suturing the torn ends together using strong, non-absorbable sutures. The sutures are placed in a specific pattern to provide optimal strength and stability to the repair. In cases of severe tendon damage or loss, tendon reconstruction techniques may be used to restore function. This may involve using donor tendons from other parts of the body or synthetic materials to bridge the gap and provide support.
