Our team of experienced hand surgeons and microsurgery specialists provides advanced treatment for tendon injuries using modern surgical techniques and specialized rehabilitation programs. With expertise in hand surgery and upper limb reconstruction, Surgenesis Hospital is dedicated to restoring movement, strength, and function after tendon injuries.

What is a Tendon Injury?

A tendon injury occurs when the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones becomes torn, stretched, or completely ruptured. These injuries can significantly affect movement and joint function, particularly in the hands and fingers where tendons are essential for precise movements.

Tendon injuries are commonly caused by:

• Deep cuts or trauma to the hand
• Sports injuries
• Workplace accidents
• Sudden force or overuse of muscles
• Fractures affecting tendon structures

Without proper treatment, tendon injuries can lead to permanent stiffness, weakness, and reduced hand function.

Types of Hand Tendon Injuries

Tendon injuries in the hand are usually categorized based on the type of tendon affected.

Flexor Tendon Injuries

Flexor tendons allow fingers to bend. Injuries to these tendons often occur due to deep cuts in the palm or fingers, making it difficult to bend the finger.

Extensor Tendon Injuries

Extensor tendons help straighten the fingers and thumb. These injuries often occur on the back of the hand or fingers.

Tendon Ruptures

A tendon rupture occurs when the tendon is completely torn, often requiring surgical repair.

Chronic Tendon Damage

Repeated stress or untreated injuries may cause long-term tendon degeneration and weakness.

Our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and treating all types of complex tendon injuries affecting hand movement.

Symptoms of Tendon Injury

Common symptoms of tendon injuries include:

• Difficulty bending or straightening fingers
• Pain in the hand or wrist
• Swelling or tenderness
• Weak grip strength
• Visible deformity of the finger
• Inability to move the affected finger normally

Early diagnosis by hand surgery specialists is essential for effective treatment and recovery.

Advanced Tendon Injury Treatment

At Surgenesis Hospital, treatment for tendon injuries depends on the type, location, and severity of the injury.

Non-Surgical Treatment

Minor tendon injuries may be treated with:

• Immobilization using splints or braces
• Anti-inflammatory treatment
• Physiotherapy and hand rehabilitation
• Activity modification

Tendon Repair Surgery

In cases of severe injury or tendon rupture, surgical repair is required to reconnect the damaged tendon.

Tendon Reconstruction

For complex injuries or delayed treatment, reconstructive surgery may be needed to restore tendon function.

Microsurgical Tendon Repair

Our surgeons use advanced microsurgical techniques to repair delicate tendon structures with high precision.

These procedures aim to restore normal finger movement and hand strength.

Diagnosis & Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is important to determine the best treatment plan.

Our specialists may perform:

• Detailed hand examination
• X-rays to check associated fractures
• Ultrasound imaging for tendon injuries
• MRI scans for complex tendon damage
• Functional movement assessment

This comprehensive evaluation helps guide effective surgical or non-surgical treatment.

Recovery & Rehabilitation

Recovery after tendon repair surgery requires structured rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Our rehabilitation program includes:

• Hand therapy exercises
• Gradual movement training
• Strengthening exercises
• Scar management
• Functional rehabilitation for daily activities

Proper rehabilitation helps restore flexibility, coordination, and grip strength.
