Tibialis posterior transfer in the correction of footdrop due to leprosy.
In the correction of footdrop due to leprosy neuritis the tibialis posterior muscle is re-routed and used to provide dorsiflexion of the foot. This study of tibialis posterior transfer was carried out to compare the results of the circumtibial and interosseous routes. There is no significant difference in the range of motion between either route through the range of the interosseous route is mo...
متن کاملTibialis posterior transfer for the correction of foot drop in leprosy. Long-term outcome.
A comparison was made of the results produced by the circumtibial and interosseous routes of transfer of tibialis posterior for the correction of foot drop due to leprosy neuritis. The findings in 69 feet, of which 63 also had elongation of tendo Achillis, showed that the interosseous route gave a much lower incidence of recurrent inversion deformity of the foot. The results, in terms of improv...
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 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 کاملPeroneal strength as an indicator in selecting route of tibialis posterior transfer for foot drop correction in leprosy.
OBJECTIVES Tibialis posterior tendon transfer (TPT) technique, using either the Circum-tibial (CT) or Inter-osseus (IO) route is the standard surgical technique to correct foot drop. The selection of the route of transfer is usually dependent on the surgeon's preference. This study aims to identify criteria to help make that selection. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A study was carried out on 381 feet ...
