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 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 کاملClosed complete rupture of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at the groove of the talus.
A rare case of closed complete rupture of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at its groove in the posterior process of the talus is reported in a soccer player who developed pseudarthrosis of the posterolateral tubercle of the talus after a Shepherd's fracture. Partial rupture or tenosynovitis of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at this level is well known in classical ballet dancers and soccer...
متن کاملHypertrophy of the flexor hallucis longus muscle after tendon transfer in patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture.
BACKGROUND Flexor hallucis longus tendon (FHLT) transfer has become a popular method for reconstructing a chronic Achilles tendon rupture (ATR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and possible hypertrophy of the FHL muscle after FHLT transfer in patients with chronic ATR. METHODS Seven patients with chronic ATR underwent an FHLT transfer to heel through single inc...
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 ...
