It includes tendon transfer, tenodesis, arthrodesis and osteotomy techniques. Palliative surgery is based on several well-established principles that are essential to know. The purpose of this introductory chapter is to review the various basic principles before undertaking palliative surgery.<br /> (Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.)
