What is Hand Tendon Repair?

Hand tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed to treat injuries to the tendons that connect the muscles to the bones in the hand. The repair of tendons damaged due to cuts, sports injuries, or trauma plays a critical role in restoring the hand’s function and mobility. A Life Health Group offers the best treatment services for your hand health with its team of specialized experts.

Hand tendon repair is a surgical procedure performed when the tendons that enable hand movement are damaged or torn. Tendons are strong tissues that connect muscles to bones and play a vital role in the proper functioning of the hand. Tendon repair is performed to restore the hand’s mobility and function. This surgical procedure is a commonly applied treatment after hand injuries.

The tendons in the hand are divided into two main groups:

• Flexor Tendons: Tendons that allow the fingers and wrist to bend (close).
• Extensor Tendons: Tendons that allow the fingers and wrist to straighten (open).

Tendons can be damaged by injuries involving sharp objects, sports accidents, or crushing incidents. Such injuries can significantly limit the hand’s ability to move.

• Injuries caused by sharp objects (such as glass or knives)
• Sports injuries
• Crushing due to accidents or falls
• Infections
• Rheumatic diseases

• Inability to move the fingers or hand
• Severe pain in the hand or fingers
• Swelling and bruising at the injury site
• Loss of strength in the hand
• Deformity in the fingers

Hand tendon repair is usually performed through a surgical procedure. During the operation, torn or damaged tendons are repaired or reattached.

Surgical Steps

• Assessment and Planning: A treatment plan is created based on the type of injury and the extent of tendon damage.
• Surgical Repair: The damaged tendon is repaired using special stitching techniques.
• Wound Closure and Bandaging: After the tendon repair is completed, the area is closed and protected.

The recovery process after hand tendon repair must be carefully monitored. Physical therapy and hand rehabilitation are critically important during this period.

• A protective hand splint is used for the first 4-6 weeks.
• The physical therapy process aims to restore hand mobility and strength.
• Full recovery typically takes between 3 to 6 months.

• Tendon adhesions
• Limited range of motion
• Infection
• Re-injury of the tendon

To prevent these complications, it is essential to follow the treatment process under the supervision of a specialist physician.
