What it involves
A tendon transfer or graft restores the calf’s pull when the tendon cannot simply be repaired.
Where the tendon has retracted or worn away, a nearby tendon may be transferred to replace it. Protected movement and staged rehabilitation follow.
When it is considered
For neglected ruptures, failed repairs or badly degenerated tendon.
