In the early 1800s, the author performed the first subcutaneous tenotomy for the treatment of club foot, a procedure that became widespread due to its safety and effectiveness. Despite this, the exact process by which tendons heal after being cut remained unclear. The author set out to investigate this process through a series of animal experiments and post-mortem examinations of human subjects. Their findings revealed that the healing process involves the formation of new connective tissue, which gradually develops into new tendon tissue. This new tissue is initially weak but strengthens over time, allowing the tendon to regain its full function. The author's work has significantly advanced our understanding of tendon healing and has helped to improve the outcomes of tendon repair surgery.
