Tendon transfer effectively restores active foot motion after traumatic injuries. This surgical technique proved highly successful in a clinical review of 11 patients, offering a valuable solution for functional recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Traumatic foot injuries can lead to significant functional loss.
  • Restoring active motion in the foot is crucial for patient recovery.
  • Various surgical interventions exist, including tendon transfer, arthrodesis, and tenodesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of tendon transfer in treating traumatic foot injuries.
  • To assess the functional recovery and outcomes of patients undergoing tendon transfer.
  • To determine the role of tendon transfer in restoring active foot motion.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical review of 11 patients with traumatic foot injuries treated by tendon transfer.
  • Analysis of different tendons used for transfer: anterior tibial (6 cases), posterior tibial (2 cases), and extensor digitorum longus (3 cases).

  • Combination of tendon transfer with microvascular free cutaneous flap transplantation in 6 cases with severe soft tissue injury.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent functional results were achieved in 8 out of 11 cases.
    • Satisfactory results were observed in the remaining 3 cases.
    • Follow-up periods ranged from 25 months to 9 years, demonstrating long-term efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Tendon transfer is a highly effective method for correcting functional loss in traumatic foot injuries.
    • It is the primary useful method for recovering active motion in the foot.
    • Tendon transfer offers a reliable solution for restoring foot function after trauma.
