Tendon repair
Alternative names:
repair of tendon
Expectations after surgery:
Most tendon repairs are successful, allowing full joint function.
Convalescence:
Tendon repairs can often be done in an outpatient setting and hospital stays, if any, are short. Healing, however, can take as long as 6 weeks, during which the injured part may need to be immobilized in a splint or cast.
