Tendon & Muscle Surgery

Tendon and Muscle Surgery by Dr. Dharmesh JB in Bangalore

Tendons and muscles are essential for movement, strength, balance, and coordination—especially in the lower limb and trunk where they support walking, standing, and daily activity. Injuries such as tendon cuts, ruptures, or muscle tears can cause pain, weakness, deformity, and loss of function. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Reconstructive & Microsurgery Clinic, we provide advanced tendon and muscle surgery using precise repair and reconstruction techniques to restore mobility and function.

Whether the injury is due to trauma, sports accidents, crush injuries, or post-surgical complications, Dr. Dharmesh JB offers comprehensive care focused on strong repair, proper healing, and long-term recovery.

Tendon Repair After Injury

Tendons connect muscle to bone and allow movement across joints. When a tendon is cut, torn, or ruptured, tendon repair is performed to reconnect the tendon ends and restore function. Depending on the injury, treatment may include primary repair for fresh injuries, tendon grafting when tissue is missing, or tendon reconstruction to regain stability and motion. Early repair and structured rehabilitation help reduce stiffness and improve strength.

Muscle Repairs for Torn or Lacerated Muscles

Muscle injuries can occur due to deep cuts, road traffic accidents, sports trauma, crush injuries, or avulsions (where muscle tears away from its attachment). Muscle repair involves careful reconstruction of the torn or lacerated muscle to restore strength and reduce deformity. In complex injuries, repair may be combined with soft tissue reconstruction to protect underlying structures and support healing.

Muscle Biopsies for Diagnosing Neuromuscular Conditions

In some cases, muscle weakness or abnormal muscle function may not be due to injury but because of underlying neuromuscular conditions. A muscle biopsy helps diagnose conditions such as inflammatory muscle disorders, muscular dystrophies, metabolic muscle diseases, or other neuromuscular problems. A small sample of muscle tissue is collected and sent for laboratory analysis, providing valuable diagnostic information to guide further treatment.
