What is Repair of Hand and Wrist Ligaments and Tendons?

Ligaments attach bones to bones and tendons attach muscles to bones. The wrist and hand are made up of many bones and thus have many ligaments and tendons that provide stability and facilitate movement. A partially or completely torn ligament or tendon may require surgical intervention. A ligament or tendon repair is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed under general anesthesia.
