What to expect with the Tenex procedure
The simple procedure takes place in an outpatient setting. You typically remain awake while your doctor uses local anesthesia. It proceeds with a quick look using diagnostic imaging (such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or a C-Arm) to determine the exact source of your pain. Your doctor then makes a mini-incision and inserts the TX MicroTip. Using advanced ultrasonic energy, under imaging guidance, is designed to precisely cute and remove diseased hard tissue.
Your doctor will apply a sterile gauze. No stitches required.
Your doctor may recommend resting for a period, followed by range-of-motion and strength exercises. Recovery instructions may vary based on your specific condition.
