The operative note would need a review to answer accurately. Based on limited information, consider: 27686 (2 units); 27686-59, 1 unit.

Lengthening Tendon

Ok I guess I was thinking that it would be 27685 (1 unit) and then 27686 -59 (2 units)

27685 is a "separate procedure (coded when it is the only service rendered or unrelated to another service). Some payers may allow this but if they do, place the modifier 59 on code 27685.
