Tenex Anyone?

Posted by Sue, Volunteer Mentor @sueinmn, 3 days ago

I'm scheduled for the Tenex procedure to remove damaged tissue from my elbow, so that new tissue will grow to repair it.

Has anyone had this done?

An ortho I was sent to wanted to do this on my hip. I ran away from this provider....finally found an outstanding surgeon for torn gluetus medius. My thought was it would be harder for a good surgeon to repair after this salvage procedure. Just my opinion. More reasons not to do in my case but in general, I would not consider.

He is also my elbow surgeon, and assures me this would not make it harder to repair. I am trying to avoid the down time of yet another surgery as I am just finishing rehab on that shoulder for rotator cuff repair. This seems to offer me the best chance of relief - we also discussed PRP, but it would take longer to get results and there are some meds I would need to stop before plasma extraction.

I have a track record of success with this team of docs, so I trust his advice and have decided to try it.
