Orthopedics & Joint CareTendon Transfer Surgery

What is Tendon Transfer Surgery?

Tendons are strong connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. When a muscle loses function (due to nerve damage, disease, or trauma), its associated tendon no longer facilitates movement. In tendon transfer surgery, a working tendon is surgically detached from its original insertion and reattached to a new bone or site, enabling a healthy muscle to perform a new task.

Over time, and with rehabilitation, the brain adapts to this new muscle-task relationship, allowing patients to regain control of essential movements like gripping, lifting, or walking.
