The techniques of the tendon transfers that are used primarily for the functional rehabilitation of upper limbs in tetraplegia are described in this article. The restoration of active elbow extension can be obtained either by biceps-to-triceps or by deltoid-to-triceps transfers. Grasp and key grip can be restored either by active or by passive tendon transfers. The usual motors of active transfer are the BR and ECRL. The usual tenodesis involve the FDS (via lassos), EDC, EPL, FPL, and APL.
