Tendon Repair is an open surgical procedure in which the fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones is sutured together after lacerating or tearing injuries has compromised joint movement.

In the event of severe injury, a piece of tendon taken from another part of the body is grafted to repair the damaged tendon. Sometimes a Silastic artificial tendon is used temporarily to reconstruct the sheath, or tube, within which the tendon glides inside the finger.

Post-operative care includes temporary immobilization with a splint and occupational therapy.
