- Tendon Transfers for Specific Palsies:
- Brachial Plexus Palsy
- High Ulnar Nerve Palsy
- Low Ulnar Nerve Palsy

- Prerequisites:
- full passive joint mobility;
- acceptable distal sensation;
- virgin tissue thru which tissue can be transfered;
- normal or near motor strength in donor muscle;
- acceptable excursion of the transfered muscle;
- good compliance of the overlying soft tissues (ie skin is not too tight)
