Clayton Brown - Shoulder, Elbow, Hand & Wrist Surgeon

Private Service, Orthopaedics

Soft Tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments)

In many cases tendons will be lengthened to improve the muscle balance around a joint or tendons will be transferred to give overall better joint function.

This occurs in children with neuromuscular conditions but also applies to a number of other conditions.

Most of these procedures involve some sort of splintage after the surgery followed by a period of rehabilitation, normally supervised by a physiotherapist.
