About Tendon Repair of Arm

Tendon repair of the arm is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure performed to restore function and strength to damaged or torn tendons in the upper limb, including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Tendons are the tough, fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones, enabling movement. Common injuries necessitating this repair include lacerations from accidents, sports-related ruptures (like a torn biceps or rotator cuff), or chronic degenerative tears. The surgery involves reattaching the torn tendon ends, often using sutures, anchors, or grafts. Performed by an orthopedic surgeon, the goal is to alleviate pain, restore a full range of motion, and prevent long-term disability, allowing patients to return to their daily activities and work. Modern techniques, including minimally invasive arthroscopy, can lead to better outcomes and faster recovery.

Significant loss of arm or hand function affecting daily life.
Injuries from sports (e.g., weightlifting, tennis, baseball) or accidents.

Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised.

Bleeding, hematoma, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
Nerve or blood vessel damage, leading to numbness or weakness.
Stiffness, reduced range of motion, or re-rupture of the tendon.
Formation of scar tissue (adhesions) that can limit movement.
Chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in rare cases.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial immobilization with a splint, cast, or sling to protect the repair.
Strict adherence to a structured physiotherapy program to regain motion and strength.
Pain management with prescribed medications and ice application to reduce swelling.
Gradual return to light activities over weeks, with heavy lifting restricted for months.
Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon to monitor healing progress.
Full recovery and return to sports/ strenuous work may take 4 to 6 months or longer.
