What is Advanced Tendon Transfer?

What is AV Fistula for Dialysis?

Advanced tendon transfer involves surgically rerouting functioning tendons to replace damaged or non-functional ones. This complex procedure helps restore movement, strength, and dexterity in patients who have lost hand function due to trauma, nerve injury, or disease. Dr. Bharat Saxena specializes in microsurgical tendon repair, ensuring precision and optimal outcomes for each patient. The goal is to improve hand function, enabling patients to perform daily activities with greater ease.

Common Indications

  • Traumatic tendon injuries resulting in loss of hand or finger movement
  • Nerve palsies causing muscle paralysis in the hand and reduced functional movement.
  • Congenital deformities where tendons are absent or non-functional
  • Post trauma tendon surgery cases requiring reconstruction for optimal recovery

Techniques Used

  • Microsurgical tendon repair using high magnification for precise suturing
  • Functional tendon transfer that reassigns working tendons to restore lost movement
  • Tendon grafting and bridging techniques to span gaps in damaged tendons
  • Use of minimally invasive approaches to reduce scarring and enhance recovery

About the Surgery/Treatment

Advanced tendon transfer surgery is a specialized reconstructive procedure designed to restore lost hand or finger function. The surgery involves identifying functioning donor tendons and redirecting them to replace the damaged or paralyzed tendons. This requires expert microsurgical skill and careful planning to ensure the transferred tendon performs its new role effectively.

Treatment Process

  • Initial consultation and detailed assessment of hand function by Dr. Bharat Saxena
  • Preoperative imaging and planning tailored to individual patient needs
  • Surgical procedure performed under high magnification to transfer tendons accurately
  • Postoperative immobilization followed by gradual physiotherapy to restore movement

Benefits of this Surgery

  • Significant improvement in hand mobility and grip strength
  • Restoration of fine motor skills critical for daily activities
  • Minimally visible scarring with advanced microsurgical techniques
  • Personalized treatment ensuring optimal functional outcomes

Advanced tendon transfer procedures performed by Dr. Bharat Saxena combine expert microsurgical skills with personalized care to restore hand function effectively. Available at Nanavati Hospital and Saxena Aesthetics, these surgeries help patients regain independence and improve quality of life.

What to Expect After Surgery

After surgery, patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort, which is managed with medication. The hand will be immobilized to protect the repair. Gradual physical therapy begins once healing is adequate to regain strength and range of motion. Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress.

Post-Surgery

  • Keep the surgical site clean and dry to prevent infection
  • Follow prescribed medication schedules including pain management
  • Avoid strenuous hand activities during initial healing phase
  • Adhere strictly to physiotherapy exercises as guided by the surgeon

Recovery Milestones

  • Initial wound healing is usually completed within 2 weeks post-surgery.
  • Passive range of motion exercises started around 3-4 weeks post-surgery
  • Active movement and strengthening therapy initiated between 6-8 weeks
  • Full functional recovery may take 3-6 months depending on case complexity

Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up care is vital to ensure proper healing and maximize functional outcomes after tendon transfer surgery.

Follow-up Schedule

  • First postoperative check within 1 week of surgery for wound evaluation and care.
  • Weekly visits for the first month to monitor wound and early recovery
  • Monthly follow-ups for the next 3-6 months during rehabilitation phase
  • Annual assessments to evaluate long-term hand function and address concerns

Follow-Up Care

  • Dressing changes and wound care by skilled nursing staff
  • Supervised physiotherapy sessions tailored to patient progress
  • Adjustment of splints or braces as needed during healing
  • Ongoing consultation with Dr. Bharat Saxena to optimize recovery
