Split tibialis posterior tendon transfer for correction of spastic equinovarus hindfoot deformity.
Equinovarus hindfoot deformity is one of the most common deformities in children with spastic paralysis ; it is usually secondary to cerebral palsy. Split tibialis posterior tendon transfer is performed to balance the flexible spastic varus foot and is preferable to tibialis posterior lengthening, as the muscle does not loose its power and therefore the possibility of a valgus or calcaneovalgus...
متن کاملExtensor hallucis longus transfer as an alternative to split transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon to correct equinovarus foot in hemiplegic patients without overactivity of tibialis anterior.
This study assessed if transfer of the extensor hallucis longus is a valid alternative treatment to split transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon in adult hemiplegic patients without overactivity of the tibialis anterior. One group of 15 patients had overactivity of tibialis anterior in the swing phase, and underwent the split transfer. A further group of 14 patients had no overactivity of tib...
متن کاملNew method for fixation point of tibialis posterior tendon transfer
Background: The transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon to the dorsum of foot can restore the function of the paralyzed dorsiflexor muscles of the foot and ankle. In order to reduce the wound complication in the insertion site of tendon to bone by a plantar knop we used a new method of fixation by an absorbable screw inserted dorsally. Methods: we performed this operation on 15 patients in...
متن کاملBiomechanical assessment of children requiring tibialis anterior surgical tendon transfer for residual congenital talipes equinovarus
Introduction Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a deformity in which the foot is in structural equinus, varus, adductus and cavus and occurs in approximately 1 per 1000 births [1]. Despite good initial correction with the Ponseti technique, a tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) is required in 20-25% of cases to correct residual dynamic supination observed during gait. Currently, no r...
متن کاملSplit tibialis posterior transfer for equinovarus deformity in cerebral palsy. Long-term results of a new surgical procedure.
We report the results of a new surgical procedure for spastic equinovarus deformity due to cerebral palsy. This is the transfer of the anterior half of the split tibialis posterior to the dorsum of the foot through the interosseous membrane. We performed the operation on 23 feet in 18 children. All patients were assessed before operation and at follow-up at a mean of 8.4 years postoperatively. ...
