- increased vascularity
- tendon callus
- recruitment of fibroblasts
- sutures are weakly holding the tendon together
A
-week one
2
Q
what week in tendon healing?

- increasing vascularity with edema
- don’t move it yet
A
week two
3

detachment
A
transfer
6
Q
rerouting without detachment
A
transposition (translocation)
7
Q
O/I detachment
A
transplantation
8
Q
creating support
A
suspension
9
Q
- Restore relationship between the tendon and the sheath
- Pass tendon through tissue that is adapted to the gliding of tendons
- Imitate the normal insertion of the original tendon to bone or cartilage
- Estabilish normal tension
- Have an effective line of tension
A
Mayer’s principles
10
Q
objectives of transfer?
A
eliminate forces
- improve motor function
- provide power
- increase stability
- eliminate bracing
- cosmesis
11
Q
a transferred tendon can be anastomosed to another tendon, or fixed to bone
A
fixation
12
Q
what do you do for post-op care?
A
immobilization followed by rehab
