Español The Tenex FAST (Focused Aspiration of Soft Tissue) procedure is a minimally invasive technique designed to treat chronic tendinosis and fasciosis. It uses high-frequency ultrasonic energy to remove damaged tissue from tendons without harming the surrounding healthy structures. Under ultrasound guidance, a small incision is made to insert a specialized microtip handpiece that delivers targeted energy to break down and aspirate the diseased tissue.
Unlike traditional open surgery, Tenex is performed under local anesthesia and requires no stitches. The treatment typically takes about 15 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients usually return home the same day and experience minimal discomfort. The technology is particularly effective for treating chronic tendon conditions that have not responded to conservative treatment, such as rest, ice, or physical therapy.
