Improve Hand Function with Extensor Tenolysis
Extensor tenolysis is a surgical procedure that involves releasing the tendons of the extensor muscles in the hand and wrist. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as tendon adhesions, scar tissue, or other obstructions that can limit the range of motion in the hand and wrist. During the procedure, the surgeon will make a small incision in the affected area and carefully separate the tendons from any surrounding tissue or adhesions. Once the tendons are freed, the surgeon will reposition them in their proper location and close the incision. Following the procedure, patients will typically need to undergo physical therapy to help regain strength and range of motion in the hand and wrist. Overall, extensor tenolysis is a safe and effective procedure that can help improve hand function and quality of life for patients suffering from certain hand and wrist conditions.
