Tendon Repair Protocols

Meaning

Tendon Repair Protocols are structured, evidence-based clinical guidelines that detail the sequential therapeutic interventions required to restore the structural integrity and functional capacity of a damaged tendon. These protocols move through distinct phases, from initial inflammation management to controlled mechanical loading and final return to activity. The objective is to facilitate the synthesis of strong, correctly aligned collagen fibers, thereby preventing chronic tendinopathy and re-injury, a process that is often slow due to poor vascularity.
