One of the main advantages of Tenex over traditional open surgery is that it is far less invasive. With Tenex, there is no need for general anesthesia, large incisions, or stitches. The microtip used during the procedure is approximately the size of a syringe, and the entire process is guided by real-time ultrasound imaging.
Other benefits include:
- Faster recovery: Most patients resume daily activities within days and return to sports or work within 4 to 6 weeks.
- Minimal discomfort: Because the procedure avoids cutting healthy tissue, post-procedure pain is minimal.
- No scarring: The small puncture wound heals naturally with just a bandage.
- High success rates: Studies show very high patient satisfaction with minimal complications.
This makes Tenex ideal for athletes and active individuals who want to avoid the downtime associated with surgery.
