I don't recall ever hearing the name of the procedure but the Dr. told me he looped the tendon around the bone and sewed it in place, it was torn off the lower attachment point rather than the upper. He said that he trimmed off a 1/2 inch where it was shredded. He might have used a screw but I can't recall him mentioning that. I do have a 2" screw in my foot.
I've never experienced the pain of a kidney stone however I have felt the pain of having a Kidney removed, yow that hurt. I do know the name for that one, it was called a radical Nephrectomy.
