What Is TenJet?
TenJet is a minimally invasive tenotomy system that removes damaged tissue from within your joints while preserving healthy surrounding structures. The device features a needle-like applicator with dual passages that your physician carefully inserts near your injury under ultrasound guidance.
One passage releases a controlled stream of saline solution that flushes away diseased tendon areas, while the other suctions out the dislodged, damaged tissue. This precision approach ensures targeted treatment with minimal disruption to healthy tissue.
Your doctor may enhance your TenJet procedure with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy—a concentrated solution derived from your blood containing healing factors and platelets that accelerate tissue repair and recovery.
What Does TenJet Treat?
TenJet is designed to treat chronic tendon pain, specifically improving mobility and reducing discomfort from tendinosis or chronic tendinitis.
Your tendons are durable connective tissue bands linking bones to muscles and enabling movement. With repeated use, you might develop tendinitis—inflammation that typically resolves with rest. However, when tendons don’t have adequate healing time, tendinosis develops as the tissue begins to deteriorate.
TenJet effectively treats tendinosis in your:
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Knees
- Hips
- Ankles
- Plantar fascia (bottom of your foot)
Removing damaged tissue alleviates pain and often restores full joint mobility.
What to Expect at Your TenJet Appointment
Your TenJet treatment at Genesis Orthopaedic and Spine is straightforward and takes approximately 15 minutes. Your physician uses ultrasound imaging to visualize tissues in your injured joint and identify areas of damage. After injecting local anesthetic to numb the area, you might feel a slight pinch, but you won’t experience pain as the TenJet needle device enters your skin and removes the damaged tissue.
Following treatment, you may notice some soreness as the anesthetic wears off. Within three months, most patients experience significant pain reduction and restored joint function. Your physician provides detailed recovery instructions to ensure optimal healing.
