tenodesis
This term is a specialized medical descriptor used primarily in orthopedic and hand surgery. It describes a specific mechanical solution to joint instability where a tendon is surgically redirected and fixed to a bone, rather than being repaired to its original insertion point.
In clinical settings, it is often contrasted with tenotomy (the cutting of a tendon) or tenoplasty (the plastic repair of a tendon). Because it refers to a specific surgical technique, it is used almost exclusively in professional medical reports, surgical textbooks, and patient charts.
