Introduction Foot drop is a disorder that impairs walking and leads to tripping and falling. Tendon transfer (e.g., tibialis posterior tendon) is a typical secondary procedure in foot drop treatment. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the most common tendon transfer techniques for treating foot drop and to analyze the reported functional outcomes. Furthermore, it was of interest if the type of surgical technique affects the functional outcome. Methods A PubMed and MEDLINE literature search was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The search terms used were (“tendon transfer” OR “tendon transposition”) AND (“foot drop” OR “peroneal neuropathies”). Any study published before January 2020 was considered for inclusion. No case reports or reviews were included. Common outcome measures (Stanmore score, AOFAS, FAAM, AFO use, patient satisfaction and active ankle dorsiflexion) were evaluated. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Coleman Methodology Score. Results Of the 125 reviewed publications, 37 met the inclusion criteria. 42 cohorts were analyzed. The frequently reported tendon transfer technique was the tibialis posterior tendon transfer through the interosseus membrane. The most used fixation technique was tendon on tendon fixation; however in recent years, a tendon to bone fixation has gained popularity. There was an increase in Stanmore scores and AOFAS postoperatively and a decrease of AFO use postoperatively observed. Conclusions Due to various outcome measures and lack of preoperative assessment in the included studies, a meta-analysis of the pooled results was not possible. Nevertheless, the findings of this study show that tendon transfer increases mobility and self-independency leading to patient satisfaction. The choice of the surgical technique does not affect the outcome. A prospective collection of patient data and standardized outcome measures will be important to further analyze the efficacy of tendon transfer techniques.

“…Furthermore, dissatisfaction and insufficient mobility with the orthosis was a common or even decisive indication for surgery in the cohorts analyzed. Therefore, these cohorts were also included [14,20,25,[35][36][37].…”

“…To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of the use of peroneus longus (PL) transferred to the dorsum of the foot to supplement dorsiflexion in children with drop foot. There has been a report of use of PL transfer for drop foot and pes valgus in adults, including transfer through the interosseous membrane and then a bone tunnel in the medial cuneiform in adults with leprosy and valgus 5 . The reason for using this new technique at the authors' institution was to allow correction of drop foot while optimizing coronal plane alignment in patients with simultaneous weakness of the posterior and anterior tibialis and a valgus foot deformity.…”

Case: An 8-year-old girl with a history of acute flaccid paralysis presented with chronic valgus drop foot causing tripping and falling. Traditionally surgical correction of this deformity is accomplished by transferring the posterior tibialis tendon to enhance dorsiflexion. The authors describe a new technique which transfers the peroneus longus tendon to the dorsum of the foot in a patient with weakness of the posterior tibialis muscle. The patient's drop foot and gait were improved at the 22-month follow-up. Conclusion: Successful transfer of the peroneus longus was accomplished with improved limb clearance during gait and coronal alignment in stance.
