TRANSFER OF THE TIBIALIS ANTERIOR TENDON FOR RELAPSED CLUB-FOOT

Transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon for relapsed club-foot.

Biomechanical Comparison of Three Methods of Anterior Tibialis Tendon Transfer for Club Foot Correction

Long-Term Results of Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer for Relapsed Idiopathic Club footTreated with the Ponseti Method

Methods: Thirty-five patients (sixty clubfeet) in whom idiopathic clubfoot was treated with the Ponseti method from 1950 to 1967 were followed. At an average age of forty-seven years (range, thirty-seven to fifty-five years), the patients underwent a detailed musculoskeletal examination, radiographic evaluation, pedobarographic analysis, and surface electromyography (EMG). They also completed t...

New 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...

Anterior 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 ...
