Tendon transfer is a surgical procedure that involves moving the insertion of a tendon from its original attachment site to a new location. This allows a muscle to perform a different function. There are several types of tendon transfers classified by whether they restore power or position. Common indications include muscle paralysis, imbalance, or ruptured tendons. Some key principles are that the donor muscle must have adequate strength and excursion. Post-operatively, immobilization and rehabilitation exercises are used to strengthen the muscle in its new role.

Mainly affects young children
First case recorded in late 1700’s with first epidemic in late 1800’s
Cases reported after 1979 were mild and self-limited and did not result into paralysis
Last case in India – 13th Jan, 2011
In greek, polios means grey, myelos – medulla, itis – inflammation
Viral infection localized in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord & certain brain stem motor nuclei.
The Poliovirus, a human enterovirus, of the family of Picornaviridae has 3 subtypes -(Polio 1, 2, 3)
Composed of RNA genome and a protein capsid. The genome is single stranded positive sense RNA

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. • Tendon transfer:
• It is an operation in which insertion of the
tendon of the functioning muscle is moved
to a new site
• So that the muscle has a different action
from that time
• It is planned in such a way that loss of the
transferred muscle's original function does not
cause any problem
• A single tendon should be used to restore a
single function if transfer of single tendon for
multiple functions it will compromise
strength and movement
3. • Classified in to either
• POWER or
• POSITIONAL
• POWER : done to perform
motion
• require more powerful
donor
• POSITIONAL: done to maintain
correct posture
• not require powerful
donor
4. INDICATIONS
Main application in three group of
conditions
1. Muscle paralysis
2. Muscle imbalance
3. Rupture of tendon
• In other conditions like nervous system
disorder
e.g. CP or stroke
• Any birth defects
• Commonly done for radial nerve palsy
(Jone's transfer)
5. RINCIPLESOFTENDONTRANSFER
1. Supple joint prior to transfer
2. Soft tissue equilibrium
3. Donor of adequate excursion
4. Donor of adequate strength
5. Expandable donor
6. Straight lone of pull
7. Donor preferably a synergistic
muscle
8. Single function per tendon
6. PROCEDURE
• Usually a distal attachment of muscle
tendon unit is removed from its bony
attachment.
• Rettached to a different bone
• Or
• To a different location on the same
bone
• Or
• To a adjacent soft tissue.
• Then MTU is immobilized in a
shortened position for period of
time
7. Common tendon transfer
procedures
• To restore elbow extension:
• Pactoralis major / latissimus
dorsi
• Transfer to > triceps
• (In radial nerve lesion)
• To restore wrist extension:
• Pronator teres(MN) > ECRL &
ECRB
• To restore finger extension to MCP joint:
• FCU divided in 4/5 slips > attach
dorsally
• To restore thumb ext. And abd.:
• Palmaris longus or pronator
8. • To restore thumb opposition:
• FDS / extensor indicis >
APB
9. • To correct ulnar claw hand :
• FDS > EXTENSORS
• (Mainly in hansen's disease)
• To correct foot drop:
• Tibialis posterior > dorsum of
foot
• In poliomyelitis also to improve
functional ability tendon transfer is
done...
• UPPER LIMB:
• Shoulder abduction:
• Strong trapezius > neck of
humerus
10. • Elbow extension:
• Common flexor origin from medial
epicondyle of humerus > front of lower
end of humerus
• In this may be limitation of terminal 20-
30° of elbow ext.
11. LOWER
LIMB:
• Hip:
.
Paralysis of glutei
Rarely undertaken surgery
• Iliopsoas/ erector spinae > gluteus
max.
• TFL > posteriorly for gluteus
med.
• Kne
e:
quadriceps
paralysis
• Hamstring > into
patella
• Foot
:
valgus deformity
correction
• Peroneus bravis > medial
cuneiform
• First metatarsal drop correction
• EHL > neck of 1st
metatarsal
• With
• Fusion of IP joint of big toe
12. MANAGEMENT
Preoperative:
• Four factors need special consideration
1. releases joint stiffness
2. Muscle should be stronger
3. Prevent previous action after transfer
4. Strengthening of associated muscle
group of the movement
13. Post
operative:
• During immobilization exercise are given
to the joints free from immobilization
• Proper positioning of joints during
immobilization
• After removal of POP Isometric of
• Glutei &
• Quadriceps
• Begin with > guided passive full ROM in
expected arc of movement
• Gradually progress to assisted
movement by encouraging pt. To
actively contract the transferred
muscle
14. • ESsynchronized with
patient'seffoet is extremely
useful in re-education
• Bio feedback also provide an excellent
means of re-education
• Session of re-education and
strengthening should be continued and
progressed till the active strong and
controlled movement by the transferred
muscle is achieved
• Guided functional training faster the
recovery
• Dyanamic orthosis may some time
become necessary to provide
assistance and prevent unwanted
movement
15. • Gait training: started as the pain
recedes
• As the initial weight bearing is
painful
• Weight transfer to limb
• single leg balance
• Ambulation
• Are done in graduated manner
• Walking aids may be necessary initially
but it should be decrease gradually
16. • In hand tendon gliding
exercises :
• flexor tendon gliding
exercise
