[edit on Wikidata]

Atenotomy is a surgical act which involves the division of a tendon.[1] It and related procedures are also referred to as tendon release, tendon lengthening, and heel-cord release.

When it involves the Achilles tendon, it is called "Achillotenotomy".[citation needed]

It has been used in the treatment of cerebral palsy.[2]

It has also been used for hammer toe.[3]

As an alternative to SLAP lesion labral repair, the tendon of the long head of the bicep can be released.[4]

Achilles tenotomy is commonly used as part of the Ponseti Method of treating clubfoot.[citation needed]
