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.
A tendon is a tough cord made of closely packed white fibers of connective tissue that serves to attach muscles to internal structures such as bones or other muscles.Sometimes, when the muscle involved in the specific action is thin and wide, the tendon is not a cord but a thin sheet known as an aponeurosis.
