Surgery to relocate or reposition a tendon. Tendons attach muscles to corresponding bones and transmit the forces of muscles that enable movement. Tendon transfer is performed to augment the function of muscle that has been impaired by a deformity, paralysis, or permanent injury.
Reconstructive surgery in which the tendon from an unimportant muscle is removed and used to repair or replace a damaged tendon of a major muscle.
Operative intervention involving the repositioning of a tendon to enable a muscle to execute a distinct function. This entails severing the tendon from its initial attachment point and reattaching it elsewhere, resulting in a modified muscle orientation. This surgical approach might be employed to address conditions like talipes (clubfoot), as well as cases of enduring muscle damage or paralysis.
