What's the difference between tendon and tenotomy?
Tendon
Definition:
(n.) A tough insensible cord, bundle, or band of fibrous connective tissue uniting a muscle with some other part; a sinew.

Tenotomy
Definition:
(n.) The division of a tendon, or the act of dividing a tendon.
Example Sentences:
(1) Percutaneous tenotomy performed only in patients recurring after temporary cure, drops the rate of recurrences to 13%.
