Early postoperative active mobilisation versus immobilisation following tibialis posterior tendon transfer for foot-drop correction in patients with Hansen's disease.
After tibialis posterior tendon transfer surgery for foot-drop correction, the foot is traditionally immobilised for several weeks. To test the feasibility of early mobilisation after this procedure in patients with Hansen's disease, 21 consecutive patients received active mobilisation of the transfer starting on the 5th postoperative day. Transfer insertion strength was enhanced by Pulvertaft ...
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 کاملAnterior transfer of tibialis posterior tendon for treating drop foot: Technique of enforcing tendon implantation to improve success rate.
UNLABELLED An absolutely convincing technique of anterior transfer of the tibialis posterior (TP) tendon for treating drop foot has not been developed. Thirty-seven consecutive adult patients with drop foot owing to deep peroneal nerve injury were treated with bone-to-bone TP tendon transfer. The TP tendon with a small bony attachment was procured from the undersurface of the navicula and then ...
متن کاملTwo-tailed transfer of tibialis posterior for correction of drop-foot in leprosy.
Surgical correction of drop-foot in leprosy appears to have been neglected until Brand (1955) pointed out that anterior transposition of the tibialis posterior tendon to the intermediate cuneiform bone gave encouraging results. Since then there have been a number of reports of the use of this operation with or without modifications. Gunn and Molesworth (1957) reported fifty-six cases of drop-fo...
متن کاملTibialis posterior tendon dysfunction.
Dysfunction of the tibialis posterior tendon evolves through a series of stages. The pain symptoms, clinical signs, and roentgenographic changes for each of these stages are characteristic. This staging system permits clarification and individualization of dysfunction, expected pathologic changes, and surgical treatment. The importance of the tibialis posterior tendon in normal hindfoot functio...
