I have to jump in here. Like others on this thead I am very skeptical re: a
surgeon guaranteeing 100% results. We who are ambulatory are so insistent
that others not be "wheelchair bound". Yes, to be ambulatory is nice, but
at what price? Does being in a wheel chair prevent a normal development?
What happens in adult hood when these transferred tendons turn arthritic?
What about the child's personality?

Just some things to ponder.
