Care Details

At Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we provide expert Tendon Graft procedures to restore movement and functionality to damaged or severely injured tendons. This advanced surgical technique is used when a tendon is too damaged to be repaired directly, requiring a graft to replace or reinforce the damaged area. By carefully transplanting a healthy tendon, we can help patients regain strength, mobility, and function in the affected area. Our team is dedicated to delivering precise and compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs. Tendon Graft surgery is ideal for individuals with significant tendon damage caused by trauma, chronic injury, or failed previous surgeries. This procedure addresses issues such as limited range of motion, weakness, or deformity by replacing the damaged tendon with a graft, which is often taken from the patient’s own body (autograft) or a donor source (allograft). Many patients experience substantial improvements in mobility, strength, and quality of life following the surgery, with the restored tendon integrating naturally into the surrounding tissue. The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia and typically lasts two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the graft placement. During surgery, the damaged tendon is carefully removed or reinforced, and the graft is positioned and secured to restore proper function. Recovery involves initial immobilization of the affected area with a splint or brace, followed by a structured rehabilitation program to restore mobility and strength. While patients often return to light activities within six to eight weeks, full recovery can take three to six months as the graft integrates and strength returns. Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions and monitors your progress closely to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. Tendon Graft surgery at Potter Plastic Surgery & Med Spa offers a transformative solution to restore function, strength, and mobility to damaged areas.
