what does secondary repair tendon mean
The tendon unions of a secondary repair are very much stronger than those of a primary repair so early active mobilisation has less risk. We use exactly the same regime of immediate mobilisation after secondary surgery as we do after primary repair, which simplifies things for everyone in the unit.he results of the initial surgery are also not universally good enough and secondary surgery for us is mostly that of the complications of primary repair, namely ruptured and stuck repairs. In the best institutes, this constitutes about 10% of all primary repairs.
