A woman posted on the General Board about a procedure that moves muscles and tendons from the leg into hand and wrist? Do any of you have any information about this or can point her in the direction of articles, etc?

-thanks and happy thanksgiving to all,

Hi, that is the site of my surgeon Simon Kay and team at St James's in leeds UK. He is planning this type of surgery for Karl in december (karl posted about it a while back on here, as karlos). My physio says he will probably recommend this surgery for me when i next see him, i would need selling on the idea tho!
if you email him Im sure he will answer any questions about this procedure, hope that helps.
