Although part of the hamstring, the Semitendinosus Tendon is commonly used for Ankle Stabilisation and Achilles Tendon Repair. We supply a high-quality frozen and professionally sterilised Semi-T Achilles Tendon for use in surgical operations to repair the Achilles Tendon.
In particular for chronic tears of the Achilles tendon, when there is a gap of more than 5cm, it is most usually recommended that a primary tendon reconstruction via transfer of an allograft is undertaken. This is used in order to replace the missing tissue, due to the lack of healthy tissue in order to perform the repair directly.
The surgical process involves drilling a tunnel into the base of the calcaneus and the harvested tendon is then fed through the tunnel and both stitched and screwed in place.
