When Is Tendon Repair Surgery Needed?
Tendon repair surgery is typically recommended when the tendon has been partially or completely torn and non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, orthotics, or rest have failed. Common conditions requiring this procedure include Achilles tendon ruptures, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, and peroneal tendon tears.
Our Surgical Approach
We use minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques depending on the severity of the tendon damage. Our procedures focus on removing damaged tissue, reattaching torn tendons, or using grafts when necessary to reinforce weak areas.

What to Expect – Before, During & After Surgery
Before surgery, a complete evaluation and imaging tests will be conducted. During the procedure, local or general anesthesia is administered. Depending on the tendon involved, surgery may be open or minimally invasive.
