Tendon Transfer Reconstruction
Mostly used in long-term radial nerve palsy, when nerve regeneration is unlikely, or when functional recovery is insufficient. The decision is influenced by the duration of the disease, joint range of motion, donor muscle strength, degree of scar adhesion, and electrophysiological and imaging assess

How Tendon Transfer Reconstruction is performed
Tendon transfer is based on the premise of preserving well-functioning donor muscles. Appropriate tendons are selected according to individual conditions and redirected to restore key movements such as wrist, finger, or thumb extension. The tendons are usually separated and tension-matched under small incisions, and end-to-side or end-to-end anastomosis is performed, stabilized with fixation devices and suturing techniques. Postoperative early protection is provided with splints/casts, followed by retraining, with the goal of establishing a new tendon-movement correspondence and restoring daily grasping and releasing functions. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
