Tendon degeneration doesn't respect a single body part — the same underlying tissue breakdown shows up in the elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, and heel. Dr. Abdullah treats this full range from Columbus Ambulatory Healthcare Services, giving Columbus-area patients a single, local point of contact rather than needing to find a different specialist for each joint.
Several conditions above may be treated using TenJet®, a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided device from HydroCision that removes degenerated tendon tissue through a small incision, under local anesthesia, in an office setting — without open surgery. Not every case is a fit for this approach; Dr. Abdullah will advise what's appropriate after an evaluation.
