Tendon Transfer for Wrist and Fingers

Post by cadinc »

Hi, I have been out of it for so long, but it's nice to know we are still connecting. My daughter, Kierston is 9 years old and is looking at Tendon Transfer (wrist and finger radial nerve series) per Dr. Nath's suggestion and we have appointments to see Dr. Douglas Wallace in San Deigo and Dr. Neil Ford Jones in Los Angeles. Has anyone you know had this surgery, if yes, please contact me. I would appreciate any input. Thank you. Connie Cannon cc@conniecannonart.com

I have had a tendon transfer for finger. I can not remember if this helped with wrist or not as I was ust about 7 years old at the time. But I would be more than happy to share my experience with you if you would like.

Hi-
My son Carson is 2.5yrs - He just had tendon transfers in his shoulder and wrist. Dr. Kozin did this surgery at Shriners in Philly. They are great.
