tendon repair
Fixing torn sinew
Tendon repair is a surgical procedure to rejoin a torn or severed tendon—the fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone.
The surgery may involve direct suturing of the tendon ends or grafting tissue from elsewhere in the body.
Recovery typically requires immobilization followed by physical therapy: She's six weeks post tendon repair and just starting to regain grip strength.
