Tendon repair is surgery conducted to treat a torn and damaged tendon. The damaged area may feel weak or painful. Tendons are soft, band-like tissues that connect muscles to bone. When the muscles contract, the tendons pull the bones and cause the joints to move. When tendon damage occurs, movement may be seriously limited. Tendon injury may occur in the body where tendons are present. The joints that are most commonly affected by tendon injuries are the shoulders, elbows, ankles, thighs, knees, and fingers. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, “jersey finger” is one of the most common sports injuries affecting the tendons. Tendon damage can also occur in rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can involve the tendons, causing them to tear.
Tendon damaged is treated by tendon repair surgeries. Tendon repair is done to bring back normal movement to a joint. In tendon repair surgery, a surgeon will make one or more small incisions (cuts) in the skin over the damaged tendon, sew the torn ends of the tendon together, check the surrounding tissue to make sure no other injuries, such as injury to the blood vessels or nerves have occurred, and then then close the incision and cover the area with sterile bandages or dressings. If there isn’t enough healthy tendon to reconnect, the surgeon may perform a tendon graft using a piece of tendon from another part of the body. It may be from the foot or toe, for example. On occasion, a tendon transfer (moving a tendon from one area to another) may be useful in restoring function. After tendon repair surgery, surgeon will suggest to immobilize or splint the joint to allow the tendon to heal.
Major factors driving growth of the tendon repair market include increase in geriatric population, rise in sports-related injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, contusions, surge in incidences of tendon and wrist injuries, and increase in interest in other workouts and physical activities among children and adults. For instance, according to a John Hopkins Medicine article, 30 million individuals participate in organized sports, resulting in more than 3.5 million sports injuries annually in the U.S. alone, with sprains and strains.
Numerous diseases, including the most common cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disorder, are caused due to obesity. Obesity affects almost one billion individuals worldwide, including 650 million adults, 340 million teenagers, and 39 million children that are more prone to tendon injuries. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, about 167 million children and adults will be overweight or obese by 2025, putting their health at risk.
Moreover, surge in accidents causes soft tissue injuries, particularly road accidents lead to increase in number of tendon repair surgeries, thus fueling the growth of the tendon repair market. For instance, according to the WHO 2018 fact sheet, road accidents cause around 20.0 to 50.0 million injuries annually worldwide. According to Accident and Emergency (A&E) statistics, 24.8 million sports injuries were recorded in 2019, an increase of 2% compared with 2018.
Furthermore, increase in demand for minimally invasive procedures propels the adoption of tendon repair product. In addition, technological advancements; launch of various products; strategies among key players such as acquisition, collaboration, and agreement drive the growth of the tendon repair market. For instance, in January 2021, Smith & Nephew Company acquired the extremity orthopedic business. This acquisition helped Smith & Nephew’s idea to invest in growing segments and extended product portfolio of orthopedic segment.
However, lack of acceptance for biological products and lack of appropriate knowledge regarding products among physicians and surgeon limit the market growth. Stricter regulatory standards, and high cost for tendon repair products also restrain the market growth.
Furthermore, healthcare business is predicted to witness growth, owing to rise in prevalence of tendonitis and obesity, increase in R&D investments in drug discovery & development, and rise in awareness regarding physical fitness and workout. This is anticipated to offer remunerative opportunities for key players to invest in the market during the forecast period.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Tendon Repair Market," the tendon repair market size was valued at $1.8 billion in 2021, and tendon repair market size is estimated to reach $3.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.Tendon repair refers to the surgical repair of damaged or torn tendons, which are cord-like structures made of strong fibrous connective tissue that connect muscles to bones. Tendons are cable-like tissues that connect muscles to bones. Although one of their functions is to take some of the strain off the muscles, too much activity can injure them. The shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle joints are most commonly affected by tendon injuries. Tendon repair surgeries are preferred for the treatment of tendonitis. Tendinitis occurs when a tendon becomes irritated or inflamed. This can happen through a sudden injury, but it most commonly occurs due to the impact of a minor, repetitious movement. The symptom of tendinitis is pain with any type of movement of the joint especially overhead motions. In few cases, pain is observed during sleep and early morning hours.
Tendon injury mostly occurs during hard physical work out such as rowing, heavy weight lifting, occupation activities such as window washing, wood work, some assembly line works and sports activities such as football, basketball, pedal cycling, soccer, ice or roller skating, and skateboarding. Artificial muscles and tendons for knee, ankle, and tendon reinforcement will also become increasingly popular due to a growing propensity for minimally invasive procedures, government activities to raise awareness about sports injuries, and developments in surgical methods. Surgical tendon restoration was frequently viewed as the last choice by both patients and doctors.
Tendinitis can affect people of any age, especially if they perform a repetitious movement on a regular basis. However, the vast majority of cases occur in people who are at least 40 years old. Elderly individuals have the biggest risk of suffering from chronic tendinitis due to the reduced elasticity in their tendons. Therefore, it is necessary for family caregivers to take complaints about painful tendons seriously so that the afflicted person can take restorative action right away. Therefore, the rise in geriatric populations is witnessing of the market growth. For instance, according to the Population Reference Bureau, in July 2019, the number of Americans aged 65 years, or more is projected to double from an estimated 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060.
Growth of the tendon repair industry is majorly driven by rise in geriatric population, surge in number of patients suffering from tendonitis, rise in physical exercise among children and adults, increase in interest of professional sports, and surge in number of athletes that are prone to tendon injury.
