<p style="font-size:2em;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Tendon repairs are usually done on an outpatient basis. This means the patient can go home after the surgery. If the patient does stay in the hospital, it is usually for a short period of time.

<p style="font-size:2em;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Healing can take up to 12 weeks. The injured tendon may need to be supported with a splint or cast in the meantime.

<p style="font-size:2em;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">Physical therapy may be necessary to return movement in a safe manner. Expect movement to return gradually, with some stiffness.

<p style="font-size:2em;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(85,85,85);">You may need treatment after the surgery to minimize scar tissue. Too much scar tissue can make it difficult to move the damaged tendon.
