Tendon split lengthening technique for flexor hallucis longus tendon rupture
BACKGROUND Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon rupture is a challenging injury to lead with clawing of the great toe when the FHL tendon is repaired too tight. When the diagnosis is delayed, the tendon ends may not be opposable because of contracture or poor tendon tissue. METHODS A technique to reconstruct FHL tendon rupture without a free tendon graft is described. A split tendon lengthenin...
متن کاملThe fibula-flexor hallucis longus osteomuscular flap.
Limb salvage after loss of bone and soft tissue may require many operations to obtain soft-tissue cover and bony continuity. We describe a fibula-flexor hallucis longus osteomuscular flap which can provide both soft tissue and bone in a single stage. The flap is based on the peroneal vessels and is covered by a split-thickness skin graft. We report the results in five patients with an average b...
متن کاملPlantar forces in flexor hallucis longus versus flexor digitorum longus transfer in adult acquired flatfoot deformity.
BACKGROUND Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon transfers are frequently used to restore the function of a deficient tibialis posterior tendon in stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). Either transfer causes some loss in toe flexion force, although the decision to tenodese the cut tendon to restore associated function remains controversial. This stud...
متن کاملSpring ligament reconstruction using the autogenous flexor hallucis longus tendon.
The calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament complex is the soft tissue most often seen to fail in flatfoot pathology and is associated with deformity of the talonavicular joint. The spring ligament complex supports the talar head, preventing it from displacing into excessive plantar flexion/adduction. An anatomical reconstruction of the spring ligament should replicate this function. A new method o...
متن کاملReconstruction of the Achilles Tendon after Tumor Excision with Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon Transfer
Reconstruction following excision of tumors of the Achilles tendon poses a challenge to the treating surgeon. Described techniques for restoration of plantarflexion in the setting of an unrepairable tendon include the use allograft, autograft, tendon transfer, and free flap. In tumor surgery, options may be limited as total tendon resection may be necessary leaving little or no residual tendon ...
