Tendon Transfers
A tendon transfer involves release of one end of a tendon from bone or soft tissue and its reattachment to another bone or tendon.
A tendon transfer is used when a muscle or group of muscles are weak, torn or paralyzed. The transfer can correct: a flat foot, high arch, clawed toes, a drop foot or a weak heel cord (Achilles Tendon).
