Flexor Tendon Tenolysis

Effective surgery for restoring hand and finger function

Flexor tendon tenolysis is a surgical procedure that involves releasing adhesions and scar tissue that have formed around the flexor tendons in the hand or fingers. This can occur as a result of injury, surgery, or prolonged immobilization. During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the affected area and carefully remove any scar tissue or adhesions that are restricting the movement of the flexor tendons. Once the tendons are free, the surgeon may also perform a tendon repair or reconstruction to restore full function to the hand or fingers. After the procedure, patients will need to undergo a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility in the affected area. Overall, flexor tendon tenolysis is a highly effective procedure for restoring hand and finger function, and can greatly improve quality of life for patients who have experienced tendon adhesions or scar tissue.
