i WOULD WANT TO MEET THE DOCTORS SUCCESSFUL TRANSFERS, AT LEAST ONE. Hand surgery can get messed up. I haven't seen any new ones but one from 1980 just turned to a clenched hand that was virtually useless. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] tendon transfer

Hi, I had them done one yr after my accident. I couldn't pick up a piece of paper before I had the surgery. I no longer use any cuffs. I can grasp but there still is a limit to the weight of objects that I can lift. It's just for grasping. You do need to be a canidate for the surgery. I'm a C6/7. I don't think they will do it at a lower level but I could be wrong. If you have 24/7 care, I suggest you do both arms at the same time. Can't think of any cons!
