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.
Biceps Tenotomy. In a 'biceps tenotomy' procedure the long head of biceps tendon is released from it's attachment in the shoulder joint, allowing it to fall down into the upper arm and out of the shoulder joint. This removes the damaged, inflamed tissue by releasing it from the joint.
