Tendon repair surgery is an operation that restores the connection between muscle and bone after a tendon has been torn, cut, or pulled away from its attachment. Tendons can be injured at many sites in the body — the shoulder (rotator cuff), heel (Achilles), knee (patellar or quadriceps), fingers, elbow (biceps or triceps), and ankle are the most common. Depending on the tendon and the nature of the tear, the surgeon may stitch the torn ends back together, reattach the tendon to bone using small anchors, or bridge a gap with a graft. Surgery is typically recommended when the tendon is completely torn, when essential joint function is lost, or when a period of conservative treatment has not restored adequate strength. Most patients are able to resume light daily activities within one to three months, with return to sport or heavy work taking six to nine months following a structured rehabilitation programme.
A single incision gives the surgeon direct access to the torn tendon, allowing it to be stitched back together or reattached to bone under full visualisation.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this variant: MRI of affected region (to confirm tear pattern), X-ray of affected joint (AP and lateral views), CBC, Blood sugar / HbA1c, ECG (if age > 40 or cardiac history), PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,500 – $5,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~3 days

Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $7,000
