What Is the Tenex Procedure?
Living with persistent tendon pain can feel like a never-ending battle. At DFW Sports Medicine, Dr. Rathna Nuti offers the Tenex Health TX® System, a modern solution to break free from discomfort and reclaim your active lifestyle. The Tenex procedure is a nonsurgical treatment for chronic tendonitis with Tenex. It uses advanced technology to treat stubborn tendon pain that hasn't improved with rest, therapy, or injections. Common conditions treated include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Achilles tendonitis
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)
This procedure is especially helpful for removing damaged tendon tissue without large incisions or prolonged recovery. It's ideal for active individuals looking for a minimally invasive tendon surgery option. To learn more about Tenex tendon treatment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nuti and her specialists at DFW Sports Medicine in McKinney, Frisco, and Lewisville, TX.
How Does the Tenex Procedure Work?
Patients with chronic tendon pain often deal with scar tissue deep inside the tendon. This scar tissue prevents healing and causes ongoing discomfort. Our team provides comprehensive care for tendon pain and injury, starting with precise imaging, medical evaluation, and conservative therapy when appropriate. If symptoms persist, we may recommend the Tenex Health TX System. The procedure uses ultrasound-guided tenotomy to identify and treat the damaged area. A small probe is inserted through a tiny incision, targeting the affected tendon. The device uses ultrasonic energy to break up and remove the damaged tissue while sparing healthy tendon fibers. This results in fast, effective tendon scar tissue removal and allows the body's natural healing process to begin.
What Are the Benefits of the Tenex Procedure?
Patients who receive the Tenex procedure at DFW Sports Medicine often experience quick relief without a long recovery period. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a direct solution to lingering tendon pain. Benefits of the Tenex procedure for tendon pain include:
- Minimally invasive tendon surgery with no stitches
- Performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting
- No general anesthesia or hospital stay
- Faster recovery than open surgery
- Targets and removes only diseased tendon tissue
- Helps restore normal movement and function
- Lower risk of complications than traditional surgery
- Supports return to daily activity and sports more quickly
- Effective for plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow
