IndicationsRestore function
Muscle paralysis/nerve injuriesIrreparable injuries to the musculotendinous units
Restore balanceStroke, cerebral palsy, tetraplegia
Why?

PrinciplesTissue equilibrium is achieved
Bony stability
Good soft tissue envelope/gliding plane
Full passive range of motion
Expendable donorMinimum 1 wrist extensor, 1 wrist flexor1 extrinsic flexor & extensor to each digit
When?

Force proportional to cross-sectional area of muscle
Average fibre length proportional to potential excursion
Amplitude/Excursion (The 3-5-7 rule)Wrist flexors/extensors: 33mmFinger extensors, FPL, EPL: 50mmFinger flexors: 70mmTenodesis effect +20mm
Expect decrease of one MRC grade after transfer

Single line
Single joint
Single function
Synergy
Sensibility
PrinciplesHow?
Ideal principles but not obeyed all the times
