Tenotomy. A tenotomy is a surgical act which involves the division of a tendon. It and related procedures are also referred to as tendon release, tendon lengthening, and heel-cord release. When it involves the Achilles tendon, it is called a Achillotenotomy. It has been used in the treatment of cerebral palsy. It has also been used for hammer toe.
A tendon is a strong tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. For example, the tendons that you can see on the back of your hand come from muscles in your forearm and allow you to move the bones of your fingers. Some (but not all) tendons are covered by a sheath called the synovium.
