Our interest in tendon transplantation in leprosy was first aroused by the report of Brand (1952), and the possibility of using tibialis posterior as a dorsifiexor was further stimulated by the report ofWatkins, Jones, Ryder and Brown (1954), who had used this muscle in poliomyelitis by bringing it through the interosseous membrane. Since we began this series Brand (1956) has stated that he has...

Many overuse injuries of the lower extremity are associated with excessive/prolonged pronation of the foot during gait. Pronation is a complex motion and its quantification during gait has mainly been limited to rearfoot motion. However, foot pronation also occurs across the more distal joints of the foot. Thus it is pertinent to quantify both rearfoot and forefoot motion when assessing pronati...

BACKGROUND The transfer of the tibialis posterior tendon to the dorsum of foot can restore the function of theparalyzed dorsiflexor muscles of the foot and ankle. In order to reduce the wound complication in the insertionsite 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 a 3 ...

During roution dissection classes in 2011 in the Department of Anatomy, an anomalous insertion of the tibialis anterior tendon was observed on the left side of a formalin-fixed cadaver of a middle aged man without any trace of scars, adhesions or signs of trauma or operation. The insertion of the tibialis anterior tendon was on medial cuneiform only by one slip. The tibialis anterior is an impo...
