What did they do to Schilling's ankle??

[nfotiu]

I have seen lots of mention that they sutured up his tendons. How do you do such a thing? Is this safe? Is it like a surgery that is not a surgery or what?

Basically, I think it was an extreme form of a cortizone shot. Some medication shot straight into the membrane that protects the tendon.

It sounds like they somehow actually stitched up the tendons somehow.

I see quotes like this:

Still, pitching with sutures in his ankle and blood seeping through his sock, Schilling
...
Q: I haven't seen any details on the "surgery" on Schilling, but it sounds painful. Any idea how his ankle is feeling today?
Gordon_Edes: Well, when I came down for the breakfast Shonda made me, Curt said he was feeling great! No, seriously, SFINY, haven't heard a thing yet. I gotta think he's pretty sore, The surgery itself wasn't a real painful thing,but pitc hing after having some fresh sutures put in couldn;t have been fun
...
And hell, if those Boston doctors can somehow suture Curt Schilling's tendons together so he can pitch -- can't wait to see that procedure written up in the New England Journal of Medicine
