About Tendon Injuries

Tendon injuries in children, managed by pediatric orthopedics, involve damage to the fibrous tissues connecting muscle to bone, crucial for movement. These injuries range from mild strains to complete ruptures and are common in active children and adolescents, especially in sports. Pediatric orthopedic specialists provide tailored care, considering a child's growing anatomy. Treatment options vary from conservative methods like rest, immobilization, and physical therapy to surgical repair for severe cases. The goal is to restore full function, prevent long-term stiffness or weakness, and ensure proper growth plate alignment. Early and expert intervention is key to optimal recovery and a swift return to normal activities.

Key Highlights

Specialized care tailored to a child's growing bones and soft tissues.Focus on restoring full range of motion and strength for normal development.Utilization of minimally invasive surgical techniques when possible for less scarring.Multidisciplinary approach involving physical therapists for comprehensive rehabilitation.Aims to prevent long-term complications like joint stiffness or growth disturbances.

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation and imaging (MRI, ultrasound) to assess injury extent.
Discussion of the procedure, anesthesia (often general for children), and recovery with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon.

Nerve or blood vessel damage near the surgical area.
Stiffness, reduced range of motion, or tendon re-rupture.
Adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Scar tissue formation that may limit movement (adhesions).
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization with a cast, splint, or boot to protect the repair.
Strict elevation and pain management in the first few days to reduce swelling.
Gradual, guided physical therapy starting with gentle motion and progressing to strengthening.
Follow-up visits to monitor healing and adjust the rehabilitation plan.
A gradual return to normal activities and sports as cleared by the surgeon, often over several months.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Reddy, a lively 8-year-old who...

Ishaan Reddy, a lively 8-year-old who loves cricket and climbing trees, was playing in the backyard when he fell awkwardly from a low branch. He felt a sharp 'pop' in his right ankle and couldn't put any weight on it. His parents noticed immediate swelling and bruising. At the pediatric orthopedics clinic, Dr. Mehta diagnosed a complete Achilles tendon rupture after an ultrasound. She recommended surgical repair, explaining that for an active, growing child, surgery would provide the best chance for a full return to sports and prevent long-term weakness. Ishaan was scared of the idea of an operation. The surgery went smoothly. He spent 6 weeks in a cast, then transitioned to a walking boot and began intensive physiotherapy focused on gentle stretching and strengthening. After 4 months of dedicated rehab, he was cleared to run and play cricket again. His emotional journey was tough; he felt frustrated and left out during his immobilization. However, with support from his family, physiotherapist, and the gradual return of his strength, his confidence soared. The day he hit his first boundary after recovery was a moment of pure joy and triumph for the whole family.
