Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer with Combined Tendon-Tendon and Tendon-Bone Fixation using the Circum-Tibial Route and Superficial Retinacular Passage in the Foot Drop

Abstract

Foot drop is a condition that makes walking difficult and interferes with active living [1,2]. Tendon transfers, such as the tibialis posterior tendon, are the most important adjunctive procedures in the treatment of foot drop [3,4]. It is important to apply the increasingly popular tendon transfer techniques and to understand the functional consequences of the type of surgical technique [5-7].
