Abstract:
Chronic Achilles tendon injuries are debilitating injuries that are often difficult to treat. A review of previously reported procedures is presented. A new technique for repair is presented utilizing a transfer of the flexor hallicus longus muscle and tendon to provide a dynamic repair. A review of the clinical outcome from this procedure is provided.
