How Tendon Transfer Reconstruction is performed
A common practice is to transfer the posterior tibial tendon to the dorsum of the foot to restore active dorsiflexion; if necessary, balance the strength of the peroneal tendons in combination. During the operation, the tension is adjusted in the functional position and fixed to the dorsal foot tendon or midfoot bone. The channel can be selected through the interosseous membrane or subcutaneous tissue. Postoperative protection with plaster/brace, and gradual rehabilitation training. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
