Relieve pain and restore movement with tenolysis
Forearm/wrist tenolysis is a surgical procedure that involves the release of tendons in the forearm and wrist area. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pain and restore movement in patients who have suffered from tendon injuries or conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or Dupuytren’s contracture. During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the affected area and carefully cut through the tissue surrounding the tendons. This will allow the tendons to move more freely and reduce pressure on surrounding nerves and tissues. After the procedure, patients will need to undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the affected area. While this procedure can be effective in relieving pain and restoring function, it does carry some risks, including infection, nerve damage, and scarring. Patients should discuss the potential benefits and risks of this procedure with their surgeon before deciding whether to proceed.
