Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer. If more power is needed than tibialis posterior can be supplemented with flexor digitorum longus fdl to power the extensor digitorum and hallucis tendons as a double transfer. This study attempts to determine the optimal site of tibialis anterior tendon insertion for ankle and foot motion and to compare the split and whole tendon transfer.
We believe a suture button could allow earlier rehabilitation and may afford stronger ankle eversion. 10 one study reported anterior transposition of the lateral gastrocnemius muscle for correction of foot drop. Repetitive use of the tibialis anterior muscle and therefore the tibialis tendon can cause microscopic tears within the tendon.

In the split transfer the most medial or cuneiform portion of the tibialis anterior tendon is transferred to the cuboid or peroneus tertius tendon. This study attempts to determine the optimal site of tibialis anterior tendon insertion for ankle and foot motion and to compare the split and whole tendon transfer. Incise the tendon sheath to expose the tendon. 10 one study reported anterior transposition of the lateral gastrocnemius muscle for correction of foot drop.
