After the cleaning of the patellar tendon has finished, the doctor then drills tiny little holes in the tendon to promote blood flow which will allow the tendon to heal.
Surgery was implemented to fix a severe case of Patellar Tendonitis that was an ongoing problem for a little more than a year. The tendon was overwhelmed with scar tissue and an unforeseen cyst which did not allow blood flow to reach the tendon area to heal the tendonitis on its own. The doctor cleaned to area and removed the scar tissue and cyst.
