Lightbulb tendon repair today

is not quite the same. It has become very sophisticated.

In order to extend the "muscle", you lengthen the tendon attachement.

One of my coworkers daughter had broken her foot, and the doctors then didn't treat her properly. So one tendon died and she was in alot of pain.

She had a laparoscopic procedure that fixed it all...minimally invasive, etc.
And she did not have too much pain either. Times have changed.
