A member asked:
Is tendon transfer surgery only for hands? can a tendon transfer be performed on feet as well or is it just a treatment that can currently be performed on hands?

Tendon : Tendon transfers are well described for treating muscular imbalances in the foot and ankle. They are not only for the hands and upper extremities. An orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon can evaluate you and determine whether the condition you have is appropriate for such a procedure.
