Dynamic inversion of the forefoot and dorsiflexion of the big toe treated by transfer of extensor hallucis longus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic hyperextension of the big toe and supination of the forefoot may occur in the swing phase of walking in children with various neurological disorders. Symptoms arising from this have been successfully corrected in 13 feet of 11 children by transfer of extensor hallucis longus to the insertion of peroneus brevis.

Extensor hallucis longus transfer as an alternative to split transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon to correct equinovarus foot in hemiplegic patients without overactivity of tibialis anterior.
This study assessed if transfer of the extensor hallucis longus is a valid alternative treatment to split transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon in adult hemiplegic patients without overactivity of the tibialis anterior. One group of 15 patients had overactivity of tibialis anterior in the swing phase, and underwent the split transfer. A further group of 14 patients had no overactivity of tib...
متن کاملVariations in the insertion of the extensor hallucis longus muscle.
Reports that describe abnormalities of the muscles and tendons of the leg and foot are important with regard to understanding the function of the lower limb and correlating these abnormalities with the clinical aspects. Variations in the insertion of the extensor hallucis longus muscle were studied in 60 adult human cadavers. Three different patterns of insertion were noticed. Pattern I (65%): ...
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 کاملChronic diabetic ulcers under the first metatarsal head treated by staged tendon balancing: a prospective cohort study.
We studied a cohort of 26 diabetic patients with chronic ulceration under the first metatarsal head treated by a modified Jones extensor hallucis longus and a flexor hallucis longus transfer. If the first metatarsal was still plantar flexed following these two transfers, a peroneus longus to the peroneus brevis tendon transfer was also performed. Finally, if ankle dorsiflexion was < 5 degrees w...
متن کاملBabinski response: stimulus and effector.
This is an electromyographic study of the activity in flexor and extensor muscles of the big toe in 22 patients with a Babinski sign and 49 controls, after mechanical or electrical stimulation of the sole. The results indicate: (1) the Babinski sign is mediated by the extensor hallucis longus (EHL), and not by the extensor hallucis brevis; (2) electrical stimuli may fail to activate the EHL in ...
