Effective tendon transplant surgery for wrist
Tendon transplant of the wrist is a surgical procedure that involves the replacement of damaged or ruptured tendons in the wrist with healthy tendons from another part of the body. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision in the wrist to access the damaged tendons. The damaged tendons are then removed, and the healthy tendons are carefully harvested from the donor site. The healthy tendons are then attached to the bones in the wrist using sutures or other fixation devices. The incision is then closed, and the patient is placed in a splint or cast to immobilize the wrist and allow the tendons to heal. The recovery period can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few weeks to a few months.
