A tendon graft involves the transplantation of a tendon from one part of the body to another, or from a donor, to repair or replace a damaged tendon. This surgical procedure is crucial for restoring function and mobility in cases where tendon injuries are severe and cannot heal on their own.

A surgical procedure is a medical intervention involving the manual and instrumental techniques to investigate, treat, or repair a condition or injury, often requiring anesthesia and sterile conditions. It is performed by trained surgeons and can range from minor outpatient procedures to complex operations requiring extensive hospital stays.

Restoring mobility

Tendon injuries, often resulting from overuse or acute trauma, can lead to pain, swelling, and impaired movement, requiring a combination of rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical intervention for recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent chronic issues and ensure optimal healing of the tendon structure.
