tenotomy

A tenotomy is a surgical act which involves the division of a tendon.

Clinical trials of a surgery to treat nystagmus (known as tenotomy) concluded in 2001.

From 1837 onwards he introduced the Stromeyer technique of tenotomy in England.

This is the same principal as the long used Tenotomy where the area is re-injured through poking with needles.

She handled the little wax-like foot so gently, and held the tiny tenotomy knife as an artist holds his pencil.

After maximal foot abduction is obtained, most cases require a percutaneous Achilles tenotomy.

His endeavours comprehended subcutaneous operations such as tenotomy, the surgical division of a tendon.

There he advocated a surgical process known as "tenotomy" to correct contracture abnormalities of the extremities.

The heel cord is released (percutaneous tenotomy) and another cast is put on, which is removed after three weeks.

In 1831 he performed the first subcutaneous tenotomy (tendon surgery) of the Achilles tendon on a deformed foot.

De physiologia tenotomiae (The physiology of tenotomy), (Dresden 1837)

Tenotomy of the superior oblique tendon (with or with out a tendon spacer) has also been advocated.

This theoretically allows for the same de-rotation as the tenotomy procedure, but without the potential for scarring or contracture associated with that procedure.

Operations of the superior oblique include tenotomy, recession, silicone expander lengthening, split tendon lengthening, tucking, and the Harada-Ito procedure.

Little later travelled to Germany to study the technique of subcutaneous tenotomy with its originator, Louis Stromeyer, who subsequently corrected Little's deformed foot by this method.

Approximately 80% of infants require an Achilles tenotomy (microscopic incision in the tendon requiring only local anesthetic and no stitches) performed in a clinic toward the end of the serial casting.

Botulinum toxin infusion As an alternative to the deep digital flexor tenotomy, Botulinum type A toxin has been infused into the body of the deep digital flexor muscle.

They include bandage scissors, dissecting scissors, iris scissors, operating scissors, stitch scissors, tenotomy scissors, Metzenbaum scissors, plastic surgery scissors, and Mayo scissors.

So called adductor tenotomy (cutting the origin tendons of the adductor muscles of the thigh) and obturator neurectomy (cutting the anterior branch of the obturator nerve) is sometimes performed on children with cerebral palsy.

Just seven months after completing internship he presented before the New York Academy of Medicine a report on "The Immediate Restoration of Parts to the Normal Position after Tenotomy" where he boldly questioned well-accepted procedures.

Little is also known for his doctoral dissertation in 1837 on tenotomy, the first monograph on the subject ever published, and Little became the known source of this operation, intended for the correction of skeletal deformity secondary to neuromuscular disorders.

Deep Digital flexor tenotomy Because the rotation of P3 is exacerbated by continued pull on the deep digital flexor tendon, one approach to therapy has been to cut this tendon, either in the cannon region or in the pastern region.
