About Tendon Repair of Leg

Tendon repair of the leg in pediatric orthopedics is a specialized surgical procedure designed to restore function and stability in children and adolescents who have suffered tendon injuries. These injuries often result from sports trauma, accidents, or congenital conditions affecting the Achilles, patellar, or hamstring tendons. The procedure involves meticulously reattaching the torn tendon ends, often using sutures or anchors, to promote proper healing and regain strength and range of motion. Performed by pediatric orthopedic surgeons, the approach is tailored to the child's growing anatomy, aiming to minimize impact on growth plates and ensure optimal long-term outcomes. Early and precise repair is crucial for a child's return to normal activities and athletic participation.

PATIENT REVIEW

Pooja Shah is a cheerful 8-year-old...

Pooja Shah is a cheerful 8-year-old who loves dancing, especially her weekly Bharatanatyam class. While practicing a jump, she landed awkwardly, hearing a loud 'pop' and feeling immediate, sharp pain behind her right ankle. She couldn't stand or point her toes. At the ER, an ultrasound confirmed a complete rupture of her Achilles tendon. Dr. Evans, the pediatric orthopedic surgeon, explained that because Pooja is so young and active, surgical repair was the best option to restore full strength and function, preventing future re-rupture and allowing her to return to dance. Pooja was scared of surgery but comforted by the child-life specialist who used a doll to explain the procedure. The surgery went smoothly. Post-op, she was in a non-weight-bearing cast for four weeks, followed by a walking boot and intensive physical therapy focused on gentle stretching and strengthening. After three months of dedicated rehab, Pooja regained full range of motion and strength. She was initially frustrated by the slow pace and missed her dance friends terribly. However, with her family's support and celebrating small milestones, her determination grew. The day she performed her first simple dance step again, she beamed with pride, feeling emotionally stronger for having overcome the challenge.
