Tendon Repair and Reconstruction: What the Surgery Involves

Tendon reconstruction surgery repairs or replaces a tendon that's too damaged to heal on its own. Dr. Ayzenberg works with both primary repair techniques and graft-based reconstruction depending on where the damage is and how severe it has become. Most cases involve the knee or shoulder, two areas where a compromised tendon can seriously limit daily movement.

After surgery, recovery follows a structured timeline. Swelling and limited range of motion are normal in the early weeks. Dr. Ayzenberg coordinates with physical therapists to make sure your rehab plan moves at the right pace. Pushing too fast causes setbacks. Moving too slowly costs you progress. He monitors both.

When Tendon Reconstruction Is the Right Option

Not every tendon injury needs surgery. Dr. Ayzenberg first looks at non-surgical paths, including stem cell therapy and other regenerative treatments offered at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute. When imaging shows a complete rupture or a tendon that has retracted significantly, reconstruction becomes the most reliable way to restore strength and function.

He makes that determination based on your specific case, not a general protocol.
