Introduction

Tendon transfer surgery involves repositioning tendons to improve muscle function and relieve pressure on nerves. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients with diabetic neuropathy who experience muscle weakness or nerve entrapment. We specialize in tendon transfer surgeries to enhance mobility and alleviate nerve-related symptoms.

Signs & Symptoms

• Muscle weakness or atrophy in the feet

• Difficulty walking or performing daily activities

• Persistent pain or numbness in the affected area

• Abnormal gait or foot deformities

When to Consult a Doctor

• If you experience persistent muscle weakness or pain in your feet

• If you have difficulty walking or performing daily activities

• If conservative treatments have failed to improve symptoms

• If there are signs of nerve compression or entrapment

Treatment Offered

Tendon transfer surgery involves moving a tendon from a less critical location to replace a damaged or non-functional tendon, thereby improving muscle strength and reducing nerve pressure. This procedure helps restore balance, improve gait, and enhance overall foot function.
