Flexor Tenolysis

Effective Flexor Tenolysis for Hand and Finger

Flexor tenolysis is a surgical procedure that involves the release of flexor tendons in the hand or fingers that have become scarred or damaged. This condition, known as tenolysis, can result from injuries, infections, or other medical conditions that cause the tendons to adhere to surrounding tissues. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and involves making a small incision in the affected area to access the tendon. The surgeon carefully separates the tendon from any surrounding adhesions or scar tissue and then repositions it to restore normal movement. After the procedure, patients may need to undergo physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility in the affected area. Flexor tenolysis can be an effective treatment for restoring function and improving quality of life for individuals with hand or finger injuries or conditions that affect the tendons.
