Understanding Tendon Injuries

What are Tendons?

Tendons are strong, flexible bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones, enabling movement and providing stability during physical activity.

Common Causes of Tendon Injuries:

  • Overuse: Repeated stress or overexertion during activities like running, lifting, or sports.
  • Aging: Natural degeneration of tendons as we grow older.
  • Trauma: Sudden injuries or accidents that put extreme pressure on tendons.

Conditions like Tendinitis (inflammation of tendons) and Tendinosis (chronic degeneration) are commonly observed, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Persistent pain and tenderness around the affected area.
  • Swelling or stiffness, restricting movement.
  • Weakness in the muscles connected to the injured tendon.

Understanding the root cause of tendon issues is the first step toward effective recovery.

Diagnosis of Tendon Injuries

Accurate diagnosis is key to developing an appropriate treatment plan. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic – Dubai, our orthopedic specialists, such as Dr. Khaled Mohamed Diab and Dr. Ishrat Azam Khan, use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate tendon injuries.

Common diagnostic methods include:

  • Physical Examination: Evaluating pain points, range of motion, and signs of inflammation.
  • Imaging Techniques:
  • Ultrasound: Provides real-time images of the tendons.
  • MRI: A detailed analysis to identify tears, inflammation, or degeneration.

Our specialized team ensures that each patient receives a comprehensive assessment for accurate diagnosis and tailored care.

Effective Treatment Strategies

Effective treatment for tendon injuries depends on the severity of the condition. At Westminster Ortho Med Clinic, located in the heart of Dubai Healthcare City, our experts focus on both non-surgical and surgical approaches to ensure optimal recovery.

Non-Surgical Treatments:

  • Rest and Activity Modification: Reducing activities that stress the injured tendon.
  • Physiotherapy: Guided exercises to strengthen tendons, improve mobility, and relieve pain.
  • Pain Management:
    • Anti-inflammatory medications.
    • Corticosteroid or regenerative injections, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, to accelerate healing.

Surgical Treatments (when required):

  • Arthroscopic Tendon Repair: A minimally invasive technique to repair tears and damaged tissues.
  • Tendon Reconstruction: For complex cases where tendons are severely damaged or degenerated.

Our multidisciplinary team ensures that patients receive the most effective treatments for faster recovery and long-term tendon health.
