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.
De Quervain's release is a minor surgical procedure accomplished through a small incision exposing the tendon sheath (retinaculum) along the thumb (radial) side of the wrist. The sheath is cut (released) around the two tendons at the base of the thumb and portions of the sheath may be excised.
