How Secondary Tendon/Muscle Transfer Reconstruction is performed
Common paths include tendon transfer or free/local muscle transfer, and the materials and methods are determined by evaluation. During the operation, scar tissue is released under a microscope or magnifying glass, reconstructed according to the line of force, and connected to the recipient area with sutures or small fixators; if it is a free muscle, vascular and nerve anastomosis can be performed. Postoperative focus is on monitoring circulation and tension, combined with braces and staged rehabilitation, with the goal of restoring specific movements. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
