What is Advanced Tendon Transfer?
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

- 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

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

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

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Bharat Saxena. My mother was dealing with a highly complex, recurrent post-APR perineal hernia (severe pelvic floor deformation) following her rectal cancer surgery. After a previous hernia surgery failed in Delhi, we were very anxious. I initially reached out to Dr. Saxena with her case, and he was super supportive right from the start. His quick and reassuring responses gave us the confidence to arrange my parents' travel from Odisha to Mumbai. During the consultation, he clearly explained the entire process and did not hesitate to perform the right, complex reconstructive surgery (a VRAM with a VY Gluteal flap), which is shown to have good success for this rare condition. As a plastic surgeon, his expertise in pelvic floor reconstruction is unmatched. Beyond his brilliant surgical skills, he is super approachable, incredibly supportive, and provides absolutely great post-surgery care. Thank you so much, Dr. Saxena, for taking on this complex case and giving our family peace of mind!Posted on Google Vineet UpadhyayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
