Tendon retraction refers to the shortening and withdrawal of a tendon from its normal anatomical position, often due to injury, inflammation, or surgical intervention. This condition can lead to impaired joint function, reduced range of motion, and muscle weakness, making it critical for clinicians to assess and manage effectively. A common association is with rotator cuff tears, where retraction can complicate surgical repair and recovery outcomes.
