Tenotomy is minimally invasive intervention used in the treatment of chronic tendon problems, such as tendinosis or tendinopathy. It is also used to remove scar tissue or adhesions. The cases of capsular hypertrophy causing a “frozen” joint can also benefit from this procedure. The procedure can performed under ultrasound guidance or fluoroscopic guidance with injection of contrast. In percutaneous tenotomy a needle is used to break-up scar tissue and adhesions. Tenotomy promotes tendon re-vascularization. In certain cases, orthobiologics (PRP, Adipose tissue, BMAC, etc) can be added to promote healing and repair. Anesthesia can be used to minimize discomfort.

If tendon pain or limited mobility is compromising your quality of life, tenotomy might be the solution. Schedule an appointment with our experts to discuss the procedure's benefits and ascertain if it aligns with your health goals.

Tenotomy is a specialized procedure that involves cutting and releasing a tendon to relieve tension or treat damaged tissue. This can effectively alleviate pain and improve mobility, especially in cases where tendons are constricted or causing discomfort due to wear and tear or injury.
