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.
In rare circumstances, surgery can be performed to loosen the piriformis tendon, called a piriformis release. This surgical procedure should only be considered when simple treatments have been tried for a minimum of 6 months, and when other common causes of pain have been evaluated.
