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.

Who is this surgery for?

Complete tendon rupture or tear confirmed by imaging (MRI or ultrasound).
Open tendon injuries (lacerations) that require surgical cleaning and repair.
Failure of conservative treatment (rest, bracing, therapy) to improve function.
Injuries causing significant joint instability or deformity.
Avulsion fractures where a tendon pulls a piece of bone away from its attachment.
Chronic tendonitis or tendinopathy that does not respond to other management.

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.
Pre-operative blood tests and a physical exam to ensure fitness for surgery.
Fasting as instructed by the anesthesiologist, typically 6-8 hours for solids.
Arranging for post-operative support at home and planning for the child's comfort.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or in the repaired tendon.
Bleeding, bruising, or hematoma formation.
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.
Importance of following the therapy regimen to prevent stiffness and ensure optimal healing.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
