Hand Clinics, 2016
Tendon transfers provide a substitute, either temporary or permanent, when function is lost due to neurologic injury in stroke, cerebral palsy or central nervous system lesions, peripheral nerve injuries, or injuries to the musculotendinous unit itself.

Biomechanics of Tendon Transfers
Hand Clinics, 2016The transfer of tendons in the upper extremity is a powerful technique to restore function to a partially paralyzed hand. The biomechanical principles of muscle tension and tendon excursion dictate motor function both in the native as well as transferred states.

Hallux malleus is a deformity of the great toe. There is a dorsiflexion contracture at the metatarsophalangeal joint and plantar flexion of the interphalangeal joint. The deformity is commonly attributed to muscular imbalances of the various structures acting on the great toe.

The Girdlestone flexor-to-extensor transfer was first described by Taylor in 1951. He described a technique whereby transferring the toe flexors to the dorsum of the proximal phalanx, one "restores us...

Foot and Ankle Clinics, 2014
Flexible forefoot deformities, such as hallux varus, clawed hallux, hammer toes, and angular lesser toe deformities, can be treated effectively with tendon transfers. Based on the presentation of the flexible forefoot deformities, tendon transfers can be used as the primary treatment or as adjuncts to bony procedures when there are components of fixed ...

Biomechanics of Tendon Transfer
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1974There are just two variables that define the mechanical qualities of each muscle. One is its potential for generating tension, and the other is the distance through which tension can be exerted. Tension capability can be increased in a muscle by exercise. There is no way to increase potential for excursion except by reattaching a muscle at surgery with

Tendon Transfers in Muscle and Tendon Loss
Hand Clinics, 1988Tendon transfers in muscle and tendon loss offer some of the most gratifying results to both patient and surgeon. Poor results do occur at times in tendon transfer. When patients whose results were found to be less than expected were studied, the following problems were identified: 1. Acceptance of less than full passive range of motion before transfer.

Principles of tendon transfers
Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2016Tendon transfers are carried out to restore functional deficits by rerouting the remaining intact muscles. Transfers are highly attractive in the context of hand surgery because of the possibility of restoring the patient's ability to grip. In palsy cases, tendon transfers are only used when a neurological procedure is contraindicated or has failed ...
