Why Tendon Repair Surgery Is Needed
Tendon repair is needed when a tendon is partially or completely torn from acute trauma such as a fall or sports injury, a deep laceration, or chronic degeneration from repetitive stress, especially in tendons like the Achilles, biceps, or finger flexor and extensor tendons.
Signs You May Need Tendon Repair Surgery
Warning signs include sudden sharp pain at the time of injury, an audible pop, visible deformity or gap where the tendon should be, weakness or inability to move the affected joint normally, and swelling and bruising around the injury site.
Types of Tendon Repair Surgery
Repairs may be done as a primary repair, directly stitching the torn ends together when there's minimal tissue loss, or with a tendon graft or transfer when the tendon is too damaged or retracted for direct repair; percutaneous (minimally invasive) repair is used for certain tendons like the Achilles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How urgent is tendon repair surgery?
Many tendon tears are best repaired within days to a couple of weeks of injury, since the torn ends can retract over time and become harder to reconnect — prompt evaluation matters.
Will I regain full strength?
Most patients regain good functional strength with proper surgery and rehabilitation, though the timeline and final strength can vary by which tendon was injured and how severe the tear was.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery is often prolonged, commonly 3-6 months, since tendons heal more slowly than bone and require careful, gradual rehabilitation.
Can a tendon tear heal without surgery?
Small partial tears sometimes heal with immobilization and physiotherapy, but complete tears, especially in weight-bearing or high-function tendons, usually need surgical repair.
What happens during rehabilitation?
A structured physiotherapy program gradually restores motion and strength while protecting the healing repair — following it closely is key to a good outcome.
