Tendon Repair

Watch how our hand surgeons perform precise tendon repair using advanced microsurgical techniques.

Surgical Hand & Wrist Procedures

  • Primary Tendon Repair Direct surgical repair of acute tendon injuries using microsurgical techniques. Our surgeons precisely realign and suture torn tendon ends to restore continuity and function, typically performed within days of injury for optimal healing.
  • Tendon Reconstruction For chronic or complex tendon injuries, reconstruction using tendon grafts or transfers may be necessary. This advanced procedure restores function when primary repair isn't possible, often using your own healthy tendon tissue.
  • Flexor Tendon Repair Specialized repair of flexor tendons that control finger bending. These delicate procedures require precise surgical technique and coordinated post-operative therapy to restore smooth gliding motion and grip strength.
  • Extensor Tendon Repair Repair of extensor tendons that straighten fingers and thumb. These procedures focus on restoring the ability to extend digits fully while maintaining the delicate balance between flexion and extension forces.

Over 85% of our tendon repair patients achieve excellent functional outcomes with our microsurgical techniques and comprehensive rehabilitation program.

What to Expect During Your Tendon Repair Journey

1

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your hand surgeon will perform a detailed examination, review imaging studies like MRI or ultrasound, and discuss your injury mechanism and functional goals to develop your personalized treatment plan.

2

Surgical Procedure

Under local or regional anesthesia, your surgeon will carefully repair the damaged tendon using microsurgical techniques. The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the complexity of your injury.

3

Initial Recovery

Your hand will be placed in a protective splint immediately after surgery. You'll receive detailed instructions for wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions during the first 2-3 weeks of healing.

4

Rehabilitation Phase

Working with our hand therapists, you'll begin a carefully controlled exercise program to restore movement and strength. This phase typically spans 3-4 months with progressive milestones.

5

Return to Full Activity

Most patients return to normal activities and work within 3-6 months, depending on their occupation and healing progress. Our team monitors your recovery closely to ensure optimal outcomes.

What Patients Say

RW
Excellent care and concern from the time I was called into the room. He thoroughly explained my injury and what my options were. My best option was surgery which he performed 5 days later. He greeted me at the surgery center and explained the procedure that was going to take place. Surgery went well. Im on my way to a full recovery and very thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Bohm and to have him for my care during this time. Also, the entire staff from my initial checkin to scheduling to follow-up care were all courteous, professional, and on point. Such a well organized team.

I was treated for my broken wrist in a very timely manner. I was able to see Dr. Bohm the same day I injured it. I was able to have surgery within three days of seeing Dr. Bohm. The front desk, staff, nurses treated me very well. I am on my way to almost full use of my arm. I am having physical therapy here too, which is really helping me regain strength in my arm.
