Treatment for Tendon Transfer

The patient may have mild sedation in the surgery, or he / she may be asleep. The anesthesia type depends on the injury. One or more skin incisions are made by the surgeon. The surgeon moves the tendon to the extra muscle and sews it into the tendon of the not working muscle. Sometimes it is necessary to do more than one tendon transfer at a moment. Then the surgeon stitches the skin.

 

After Surgery

You can have a cast or splint after the surgery to safeguard the fresh tendon to the current place until the tendon cures. It requires generally 1-2 months. The need for hand treatment and the timing of the treatment vary and is determined in a discussion with the doctor. Too little or too much movement can cause problem.
