There is an alternative to surgery for tended transfers. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to see about tended transfers. They have approximately and 80% success rate but if something does not go well there is no turning back and you're going to lose what you already have, which in my case is not much. Instead of taking the chance of losing what I have I ended up getting a mechanical brace that does basically the same thing as tended transfers if you are able to flex your wrist up. It looks something like out of the terminator movies but I couldn't care less about looks because I like to function. Jim
