A surgical operation to cut through a tendon.
Surgical resection of a tendon.
Muscle of the hip that extends the hip when contracted.
Surgical division of a tendon. This may be necessary to correct a joint deformity caused by tendon shortening or to reduce the imbalance of forces caused by an overactive muscle in a spastic limb.
An operation in which one or more tendons are divided, usually with the object of remedying some deformity.
Let us explore a surgical intervention designed to address a contracted muscle—an approach known as tendon release surgery. This procedure involves cutting the tendon of the affected muscle to enable lengthening and relieve the contracture. By surgically severing the tendon, healthcare professionals aim to restore a normal range of motion and alleviate the restrictive effects of the contracted muscle. Tendon release surgery is commonly performed to address conditions such as tendon contractures, tight tendons, or muscle stiffness that hinder functional movements. This surgical intervention allows for the correction of muscular imbalances and promotes improved mobility and flexibility in the affected area.
