Improve Function with Tendon Transplant or Transfer
A tendon transplant or transfer involves moving a tendon from one part of the body to another to improve function. In this case, the flexor or extensor tendon in the forearm or wrist is replaced with a graft. The graft is typically taken from another part of the body, such as the leg or foot. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions such as tendonitis, arthritis, or injuries to the wrist or forearm. The goal is to restore movement and function to the affected area, allowing the patient to resume normal activities.
