Tendon and Ligament Repair

Tendon and ligament repair refers to medical procedures aimed at fixing injuries to these tissues. Tendons connect muscles to bones, enabling movement, while ligaments connect bones to each other, providing joint stability. When these tissues are torn or damaged, they can cause pain and limit mobility. Repair techniques may involve stitching the damaged ends together, using grafts to reinforce the area, or techniques to encourage healing. Recovery often includes physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility. Successful repair can significantly improve function and reduce pain, helping individuals return to their normal activities.
