How Tendon Transfer is performed
Select the donor muscle according to the missing function, following the principles of force line and muscle strength matching, change the course of the donor muscle tendon and fix it to the target tendon or bone point, set the tension and length during the operation, and combine it with neurolysis if necessary to increase the range of motion. Postoperatively, protect with a splint and carry out re-education training to gradually enable the new power unit to assume the target function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
