sorry to say I,m waiting for the same op. have to get the tendon stitched then gat a bit of the bone shaved off then the tendon screwed to the bone, its gave me trouble for years but can,t put up with it any more, I have been told to expect 6 months of minimum. not good as I,m a plasterer. think I will be getting it done sometime this month. hope all goes well for you. good luck
