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.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
