Tendon Transfer

Surgical procedure by which a tendon is incised at its insertion and placed at an anatomical site distant from the original insertion. The tendon remains attached at the point of origin and takes over the function of a muscle inactivated by trauma or disease.

Congenital Abnormalities (Deformity) 01/01/2020 - "We sustain that for correction of a multiplanar deformity of lesser toe deformities osseous correction as well as tendon transfer lead to successful therapy." 03/01/2014 - "As many conventional technique produce asynergistic muscle action with secondary post-transfer deformity, thus we had resorted to tendon transfer procedure using an unconventional donor and recipient tendons yielding good results. " 01/01/2021 - "Ulnar slip FDS tendon transfer is effective for central slip reconstruction in a long-standing boutonniere deformity. " 10/01/2012 - "The flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer was effective in correcting clawed hallux deformity resulting from the combined overpull of both extensor and flexor hallucis longus, but not with isolated extensor hallucis longus overpull. " 01/01/2022 - "In our practice, we have consistently achieved reasonable correction of claw deformity and improvement in tendon synchrony and grip strength with a modified Stiles-Bunnell, flexor digitorum superficialis tendon transfer."
2.	Pain (Aches) 04/01/2016 - "Five patients had marked improvement of pain, including 2 with isolated CLTOT and 3 with additional tendon transfers. " 01/01/2020 - "We report that there were significant improvements in muscle strength, range of motion, relief from pain, and exceptional improvements in the patient´s functional independence with physiotherapy interventions post-operative tendon transfers." 11/01/2017 - "No significant differences in postoperative improvement in pain and function were found between TM and LD tendon transfers. " 09/01/2022 - "Performing tendon transfers without sedation and pain during the surgery and then watching the patient move the transfer have helped us adjust the tension more accurately. " 11/01/2017 - "Tendon transfer surgery resulted in an overall improvement in CS, pain relief, and quantitative range of motion in the treatment of an irreparable posterosuperior RC tear. "
3.	Rotator Cuff Injuries 01/01/2016 - "Shoulder dysfunction in the setting of irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) can be treated successfully with different types of tendon transfer: Latissimus dorsi transfer for irreparable posterosuperior RCTs works best for young, active patients with an intact subscapularis, no pseudoparalysis or previous surgery, and a functioning teres minor.A more anatomical transfer for irreparable posterosuperior RCTs is a lower trapezius transfer, and early results are promising.Isolated" 05/01/2004 - "To find biomechanical evidence for an optimal tendon transfer that will lead to improved treatment of patients with a massive rotator cuff tear." 06/01/2018 - "Arthroscopic-assisted latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) has shown promising results with good outcomes in patients with massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs), as reported by individual studies. " 09/01/2018 - "Patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears treated with Achilles tendon allograft-augmented latissimus dorsi tendon transfer did not experience significant post-operative improvement in patient-reported outcomes. " 10/01/2012 - "Tendon transfers offer good results in patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears. "
4.	Paralysis (Palsy) 08/01/2012 - "In this study, trapezius tendon transfer provided satisfactory functional improvement for paralysis of shoulder abduction after neglected complete axillary nerve injury, with improvement in shoulder stability, power and range of motion." 09/01/2017 - "In this article, the authors have selected five surgical procedures (i.e., Oberlin procedure, Leechavengvongs procedure, free functional muscle transfer, radial nerve tendon transfers, and C5-C6 nerve grafting in obstetric birth palsy) that have consistently yielded good results in patients who require surgical reconstruction." 02/01/2023 - "Patients with TP palsy on average improved by 36° (95% CI: 21-51, P ≤ .001) in active forward flexion after tendon transfer. " 01/01/1985 - "Techniques of tendon transfers in the management of sequelae of radial paralysis have progressively been improved. " 10/01/2023 - "This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the tendon transfer from a reinnervated triceps to biceps in the context of total brachial plexus palsy. "
5.	Clubfoot (Talipes Equinovarus) 02/01/2014 - "Is tibialis anterior tendon transfer effective for recurrent clubfoot?" 07/01/2022 - "This study was aimed to evaluate the kinetics and kinematics of the foot and ankle using three-dimensional gait analysis in children with recurrent clubfoot treated with tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT). " 01/01/2022 - "Sixteen children with recurrent clubfoot that had been previously treated with the Ponseti method and were being considered for tendon transfer surgery were prospectively recruited for this study and were required to attend a pre-surgery data collection session at the Queensland Children's Motion Analysis Service (QCMAS). " 07/01/2020 - "This study included 26 feet in 18 patients, who underwent tibialis anterior tendon transfer as a part of management of their congenital clubfoot. " 03/01/2016 - "The aim of this study was to identify significant changes in pedobarographic parameters attributed to growth versus growth and surgical intervention for uninvolved feet, clubfeet (CF) subjected to anterior tibialis tendon transfer surgery, and unilateral nonsurgical CF.
