Spring ligament reconstruction using the autogenous flexor hallucis longus tendon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of spring ligament reconstruction using autogenous flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer is reported.

The sesamoids are suspended by a sling like mechanism; sesamoid ligaments to the corresponding aspect of metatarsal head. There is no direct connection between sesamoids and flexor hallucis longus tendon that between them. The abductor hallucis and adductor hallucis tendons have fibrous insertions into the tibial and fibular sesamoids respectively. The deep transverse metatarsal ligament attach...

Introduction Flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus and tibialis posterior are the three deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg. Flexor digitorum longus arises from the posterior surface of tibia below the soleal line medial to tibialis posterior, and by a broad tendon from the fibula, then courses deep to the flexor retinaculum in the tarsal tunnel to enter the sole of f...
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 ...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment of a chronically infected and necrotic tendo Achillis in a diabetic with excision, flexor hallucis longus transfer and split-skin grafting.
Chronic infections and ulceration around the tendo Achillis are difficult to manage. Split-skin grafts do not survive even on healthy exposed tendon. Refractory cases may require plastic surgical intervention with the use of free flaps. Patients with significant vascular disease are not suitable for such techniques. Flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer is an established treatment for chronic ...
متن کاملInterposition of the flexor hallucis longus tendon through the subtalar joint as a late complication of pediatric clubfoot repair: a case report.
Interposition of the flexor hallucis longus tendon through the subtalar joint was identified intraoperatively during a triple arthrodesis for a symptomatic adult clubfoot in a patient who had a posteromedial release as a child. The mechanism for this occurrence is unknown, although it is likely that the flexor hallucis longus tendon deviated into the subtalar joint during the early postoperativ...
