What exactly do doctors do to your knee when they do surgery for knee tendonitis?this is after resting your knee and doing other mild treatments which don't work
- Veronica Alicia
Tendonitis is simply inflammation of a tendon.
Among your "mild" treatments have you had injections?
One treatment for tendonitis which has not responded to rest, anti-inflamatory drugs or ultrasound, is the injection of a corticosteroid drug around the tendon.
If the tendon has actually been cut or torn they can be stitched together with sutures; sometimes a tendon graft is needed maybe using a piece of tendon taken from the foot.
