Tendon degeneration doesn't respect specialty lines — the same underlying tissue breakdown shows up in the elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, and heel. Our network brings together sports medicine, non-operative orthopedics, interventional pain management, and PM&R specialists across two Atlanta hospital systems, so you're matched to the physician whose training fits your specific condition.
Several conditions in this network are treated using TenJet®, a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided device from HydroCision that removes degenerated tendon tissue through a small incision, under local anesthesia, in an office setting — without open surgery. Not every case is a fit for this approach; your specialist will advise what's appropriate after an evaluation.
