Tendon injury is damage or irritation to the fibrous tissues connecting muscles to bones, commonly affecting the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle. It can result from repetitive movements, gradual wear and tear, sudden twists, or accidental trauma. Tendon injuries may cause pain, tenderness, or limited mobility. Specialists at Manipal Hospitals assess the condition and provide treatment to support recovery and restore function.
Tendon injury symptoms may include pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, or difficulty moving the affected joint. Some individuals may also experience tenderness or a snapping sensation. Symptoms vary depending on the type, severity, and cause of the injury.
Tendon injury diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, assessing pain, swelling, stiffness, and movement limitations. Doctors also review medical history and activity patterns. Ultrasound or MRI may be recommended to examine tendon damage in detail, while X-rays may be used to rule out bone injury or detect calcification. These tests help confirm the diagnosis and guide specialists in planning the most suitable treatment.
Tendon injury treatment focuses on relieving pain and reducing inflammation when present, and restoring movement. Options include rest, physiotherapy, supportive braces, and, in severe cases, surgical repair. Rehabilitation exercises help strengthen the tendon and improve recovery.
Patients visiting Manipal Hospitals for tendon injury receive a structured management. Initial consultation includes assessment of the affected area and review of medical history. Patients can expect a detailed discussion about symptoms, activity patterns, and necessary diagnostic tests.
Once diagnosis is established, treatment is planned based on the type, severity, and location of the tendon injury. Mild to moderate cases are usually managed with rest, physiotherapy, activity modification, and supportive measures such as braces. Medications may be advised to help manage pain and inflammation. In cases where there is a complete tear, significant loss of function, or when symptoms do not improve with conservative treatment, surgical repair may be considered.
Patients are guided on how to follow post-care instructions, perform rehabilitation exercises safely, and monitor progress. Follow-up visits help monitor recovery and make adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary to support restoring movement and normal function.
