Percutaneous tendon debridement for hip tendon conditions — TenJet® procedure guide
Percutaneous hip tenotomy using TenJet® offers a minimally invasive way to treat degenerated hip tendons — addressing the root cause of pain without open surgery or general anesthesia.
Find a Specialist Learn MoreTenotomy refers to the cutting or debridement of a tendon. In the context of TenJet® percutaneous tenotomy, the procedure uses high-pressure fluid mechanics to precisely remove degenerated tendon tissue without cutting healthy fibers or requiring open incisions.
Hip tenotomy addresses conditions of the major hip tendons — including the gluteal tendons (gluteus medius and minimus), hip flexor tendons (iliopsoas), and the proximal hamstring tendons — where degeneration is causing persistent pain.
When a tendon undergoes chronic degeneration (tendinopathy), normal collagen fibers are replaced by disorganized, weak tissue. This degenerated tissue is painful, prone to re-injury, and lacks the blood supply needed to heal on its own without intervention.
Traditional surgical tenotomy requires open incisions and carries risks of anesthesia, infection, and prolonged recovery. Percutaneous tenotomy using TenJet® achieves the same goal — removing degenerated tissue — through a small incision with local anesthesia only, in approximately 15 minutes.
TenJet® by HydroCision is the leading device for percutaneous tendon debridement, used by specialists across the country for hip, shoulder, elbow, plantar fascia, and other tendon conditions.
