Muscle Transfer

Muscle transfer is a surgical procedure that moves healthy muscle tissue from one part of the body to another to restore movement lost due to injury or disease. Surgeons reroute the muscle's nerve and blood supply, enabling it to perform new functions, such as helping a person regain movement in impaired limbs or areas. This technique leverages existing muscles to compensate for damaged ones, improving mobility and quality of life. It requires careful planning and coordination to ensure the transferred muscle functions effectively in its new location.
