What is Tendon Transfer Surgery?

Tendon Transfer Surgery is a specialized procedure used to restore movement and function in cases where muscles or nerves have been damaged due to nerve palsy, trauma, or congenital conditions. In this surgery, a healthy, working tendon is transferred to take over the function of a damaged or paralyzed tendon, helping patients regain mobility in their hands, fingers, or limbs.

Our Approach to Tendon Transfer Surgery

At Dr. Anubhav Gupta’s practice, we focus on precise surgical techniques, personalized rehabilitation, and long-term functional recovery to ensure the best outcomes.

Comprehensive Evaluation

A detailed clinical evaluation combined with imaging studies helps identify the most suitable tendon transfer procedure to restore hand and wrist function effectively.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

We use minimally invasive tendon transfer techniques to ensure faster recovery, improved hand function, and optimal results for patients.

Customized Treatment Plan

Each tendon transfer procedure is tailored to the patient’s needs, whether for radial, median, or ulnar nerve palsy, post-trauma recovery, or congenital hand deformities, restoring optimal hand function.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

A structured physiotherapy and hand therapy program helps restore hand strength, improve movement, and enhance coordination after tendon transfer surgery.

Common Indications for Tendon Transfer Surgery

Tendon transfer surgery is recommended for patients who have lost hand or wrist function due to:

Nerve injuries such as radial, median, or ulnar nerve palsy
Chronic tendon ruptures where direct repair is not possible
Post-traumatic hand injuries causing impaired movement
Congenital hand deformities affecting grip and dexterity
Muscle paralysis or weakness that limits daily activities

Recovery & Rehabilitation Tendon Transfer

The hand is kept in a splint for a few weeks.

Simple exercises help regain grip, coordination, and daily hand function.
Most patients notice good improvement in 6–12 weeks, with full results in a few months.
