Ultrasound guided needle extensor tenotomy

Tenotomy is performed in order to lengthen a muscle that has developed improperly, or become shortened and is resistant to stretch. Club foot is a common developmental deformity in which the foot is turned inward, with shortening of one or more of the muscles controlling the foot and possibly some bone deformity as well.

Percutaneous needle tenotomy is the use of a large gauge needle (18 gauge), which may be performed under ultrasound guidance, to fenestrate repeatedly the area of tendinopathy within a tendon in order to disrupt tendinopathic tissue and to induce bleeding and clot formation with release of growth factors. Tenotomy works by stimulating healing; making an old (chronic) injury new. In other words, the healing process re-starts from scratch. Because a needle is involved, we use a high resolution ultrasound to precisely guide the procedure. The combination of expertise and precision is something we are known for at Lake Washington Sports & Spine.
