The Sports Medicine Program at West Boca Medical Center now provides its patients with an alternative approach to safely and effectively remove the source of tendon pain. The Tenex Health TX procedure alleviates sports-related injuries, including but not limited to, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee and Achilles tendonitis.
Tenex replicates the goal of a conventional open surgical procedure by removing the damaged tissue but in a minimally invasive manner. The conventional method carries the risk of damaging the surrounding healthy tissue and requires a lengthy recovery time with restricted activity. In comparison, the Tenex procedure requires a small adhesive bandage to close the micro-incision and offers quick recovery time for patients, usually within six weeks or less.
