Repair of Tendon or Muscle in the Upper Arm or Elbow
Repair of Tendon or Muscle in the Upper Arm or Elbow is a surgical procedure to restore damaged or torn tendons or muscles around the upper arm or elbow joint. These injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or degeneration. During the surgery, the surgeon reattaches or repairs the torn tendon or muscle tissue, often using sutures or anchors to secure the tissue back to bone or surrounding structures. This helps restore strength, stability, and function to the arm and elbow.
When Is a Mastoidectomy Necessary?
Patients may consider a mastoidectomy if they have mastoiditis and it is not responding to antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection could spread to other areas of the skull. Therefore, it is important to be proactive in your treatment and ensure to consult your physician on different treatment options.
A mastoidectomy is necessary if:
- The patient has chronic mastoiditis
- The patient’s condition is not responding to antibiotics
- The infection is spreading

What To Expect
Patients are placed under general anesthesia or regional anesthesia (numbing the arm) to ensure comfort. The surgeon makes an incision over the injured tendon or muscle. Damaged or frayed tissue is trimmed away. The tendon or muscle is then carefully reattached to its proper location, often using sutures or surgical anchors to secure it to the bone. Once the repair is complete, the incision is closed with sutures, and the arm is dressed and often placed in a sling or brace to limit movement. Following surgery, patients can expect swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in the upper arm or elbow. Movement is restricted during the initial healing period to protect the repair. Physical therapy typically begins after a few weeks, progressing from gentle motion to strengthening exercises.
