A surgical procedure that involves fixing, anchoring, or reattaching ligaments or connective tissue.
From Greek 'desmos' (ligament) + 'pexia' (fixation). The '-pexia' suffix in medicine indicates surgical fixation or attachment procedures.
When surgeons perform desmopexia, they're literally tightening the structural 'ropes' of your body—this is common in joint repair surgery where loose ligaments need to be repositioned and secured.
