Tendon and Ligament Repair
It’s common to need a tendon or ligament repair. Our orthopedic surgeons offer various treatments to reduce pain and improve mobility in the knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists.
Why Choose Sutter?
Each year, about 2.5 million people suffer from a severe Achilles tendon injury, and 200,000 people experience anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) damage, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS). Sports and overuse are the most common causes, but these injuries can happen during everyday activities. When rest and exercise aren't enough, surgery may be necessary.
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons have years of experience with traditional and minimally invasive treatments. One of these techniques is arthroscopy, which allows us to perform surgery through small incisions, usually leading to a quicker and smoother recovery. At Sutter, your care team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that gets you back in the game.
