Tenolysis, also called tendolysis is a surgery that is performed to free or release a tendon affected by adhesion. The procedure is usually performed as part of a limb reconstruction surgery. A tendon is a tough stretchy-like tissue that connects the muscle to the bone. Adhesion occurs when scar tissue forms and binds tendons to the surrounding tissue mostly due to an injury or previous surgery. It mostly happens on the hands and wrists.<\/p>\n

Tenolysis prevents the affected body area from working properly. For example, adhesion can prevent the fingers from functioning effectively as the tendons that straighten and bend the finger become stuck in scar tissue.<\/p>\n

Reasons for Tenolysis<\/h1>\n

Tenolysis is done on individuals who have tendon adhesions caused by injury or previous surgery on the affected tendon. This type of surgery is usually done when other therapies have not helped the condition. The goal of tenolysis is to regain full movement of the affected extremity.<\/p>\n

Although complications are rare, all procedures carry some degree of risk. Risk factors associated with tenolysis include:<\/p>\n
