What is Tendon Transfer Surgery?

Tendon transfer surgery is a type of surgical procedure performed to restore or improve function in a part of the body where a tendon has been damaged, weakened, or lost due to injury, disease, or congenital abnormalities. Tendon Transfer Surgery ensures proper alignment of the muscles, reduces walking problems and increases flexibility. Tendon transfer for the arm and hand areas can improve the ability to grasp small items.

Conditions for a Tendon Transfer Surgery

The use of tendon transfer surgery is dependent upon three factors:

• The muscle that the transferred tendon is linked to needs to be able to move.

• The tendon will be placed to tissue that is as healthy and normal as possible. Tendon transfer could be challenging if the tissue has significant skin injury or wounds.

 

• The joints used for tendon transfer need to be movable.

How is Tendon Transfer Surgery Performed?

Tendon Transfer Surgery is performed as a result of the loss of function of the muscles and tendons in the joint areas. Tendon transfer surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The tendon attached to the muscle is removed and positioned to the damaged area and sutured.

Tendon transfer surgery can be performed in the following cases:

                                                    

The muscle to which the tendon to be transferred is attached must be functional.

 • Tendon ruptures caused on by rheumatic diseases

 • Traumatic injuries, etc.

 • Neuromuscular disorders, including stroke, cerebral palsy etc.

 • Birth defect that interferes with muscular function. The tissue to which the tendon will be transferred should be as normal and healthy as possible. If the tissue has large wound areas or skin damage, tendon transfer may be difficult.

Following tendon transfer surgery, recovery may take one to two months.

A plaster or splint is utilized during this procedure to maintain the stability of the tendon-transferred limb and protect against damage.

Physical therapy follows tendon transfer surgery and is important for a quicker recovery.
