“…Lately, we have augmented our FHL tendon transfer fixation in two cases. In terms of tendon fixation, a myriad of techniques has been described with more or less popularity (14) . Interference screw is an increasingly used technique because it decreases donor site morbidity, and less tendon length is needed for transfer, reducing the need of auxiliary incisions (14,15) .…”

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to describe a minimally invasive chronic Achilles tendon rupture reconstruction combining a modified Dresden technique and endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer. Methods: Our prospectively collected database was queried for patients presenting with chronic Achilles tendon rupture. Patients were included if they presented any of the following criteria: more than 65 years of age, history of previous DVT, active smoking habit and Diabetes. Pre and post-operative SF-36 and AOFAS hindfoot scores, complications, and patient satisfaction grades were recorded. Results: Eight patients met the inclusion criteria; the median age was 49 years old (range 22 - 67 years). Two complications were registered (sural neuritis and minor wound dehiscence). Mean AOFAS score increased from 48 (range 40 - 63) to 91,6 (range 85 - 95). Regarding SF-36 score, the SFF-36 improved from 51,6 to 79,3 points and the SFM-36 enhance from 25 to 61,5 points. All patients evaluated their satisfaction regarding the performed procedure as satisfactory. Conclusion: Chronic Achilles tendon rupture reconstruction combining a modified Dresden technique and endoscopic FHL transfer is an attractive option in high-risk patients, with favorable results at the short-term follow-up.

“…Furthermore, we also used a whipstitch, proven to increase pullout strength. 23 For smaller diameter tendon transfers in the foot that are less than 5 mm (such as FDL or split anterior tibialis tendons), the drill hole is often oversized to accommodate a larger screw. 12 The advantage of using a whole tendon transfer rather than split tendon is that oversizing of the pilot hole is not necessary.…”

“…In the current study, although inferior to TT repair, the 4.75 mm ISF had a relatively high pullout force (327 N) compared with previous studies. This difference may be explained partly by the ability to match the pilot hole to the tendon diameter, differences in screw properties, the use of a whipstitch which has been found to increase fixation strength [16], and the use of younger specimens compared with previous studies [17, 25].…”

Minimal tendon displacement of less than 2 mm occurred during cyclic testing in both groups. The two premature failures and significantly reduced load to failure observed in the ISF group, however, indicate that the traditional TT technique is more robust. Regarding clinical relevance, this study suggests that early active range of motion and protected weight bearing may be safe following FDL tendon transfer for stage 2 tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction.
