Pre-requisites for Tendon Transfer
Skin and joints supple
No bony malalignment
Restore sensation before tendon transfer
Polio - wait at least 18 months before surgery otherwise it may recur
Meadin Nerve - wait for four months
Technical considerations -
Donor tendon should be pink and red
Poor nutrition - Pink and pale ; smaller than normal tendons.
