Tendon Injuries
Specialized Treatment for Torn and Damaged Tendons to Restore Movement.
At Aamer Nisar Orthopaedics & Trauma, comprehensive care is provided for tendon injuries affecting the upper and lower limbs. Tendons connect muscles to bones and are essential for movement, strength, and joint stability. Injuries to tendons can significantly limit daily activities and, if not treated properly, may lead to long-term weakness or loss of function. Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and structured rehabilitation to restore normal movement and strength.
Understanding Tendon Injuries
Recognizing Tears, Ruptures, and Degeneration.
Tendon injuries may range from partial tears to complete ruptures and can occur due to sudden trauma, sports injuries, falls, or repetitive strain. Commonly affected tendons include the Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, biceps tendon, and tendons of the hand and wrist. Patients may experience pain, swelling, weakness, or difficulty moving the affected limb. Clinical examination and imaging studies help determine the extent of injury and guide appropriate treatment planning.
Treatment Options for Tendon Repair
Restoring Continuity and Strength.
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the tendon injury. Mild injuries may respond to rest, immobilization, and physiotherapy, while complete ruptures often require surgical repair to reattach the tendon and restore function. Surgical techniques focus on precise repair, preservation of blood supply, and protection of surrounding structures. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s activity level, functional demands, and overall health.
Rehabilitation and Functional Recovery
Guided Healing for Long-Term Function.
Recovery after tendon injury requires structured rehabilitation to restore flexibility, strength, and coordination. Early controlled movement helps prevent stiffness and adhesions, while progressive strengthening supports safe return to daily activities and sports. Rehabilitation programs are individualized to minimize the risk of re-injury and promote long-term functional recovery.
