Achilles Tendon Lengthening

Surgical correction was performed on nine patients who had equinovarus deformity caused by severe crush injury of the leg sustained in an earthquake. The operative procedure used involved the transfer of the posterior tibial tendon to the dorsum of the foot by passing it through the interosseous membrane using a modified procedure as published in 1978. 5 This procedure was combined with percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening and tenotomy of toe flexors when needed. The average follow-up time after the operation was 21 months. The treatment improved the heel-toe steppage gait in all patients and all were able to walk in standard shoes. There were no complications in the postoperative period. Recurrence of varus deformity was not seen in any of the patients. They had active dorsiflexion of the foot, with a median active dorsiflexion of 5° (0 to 10°) and median active plantarflexion of 16.1° (10 to 25°) compared to the median active dorsiflexion and plantarflexion on the uninvolved side. The total range-of-motion was 21.1° (10 to 35°).

Hindfoot Deformity

The split posterior tibial tendon transfer procedure was first reported by Green for correction of equinovarus hindfoot deformity in patients with cerebral palsy. A modification of the split posterior tibial tendon transfer combined with an Achilles tendon lengthening is described in 17 children (21 procedures) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. This modified technique is indicated in young children with a continuously spastic posterior tibial tendon to correct a dynamic equinovarus. It restores active dorsiflexion when the anterior tibial and extensor muscles are weak. The anterior half of the split tibialis posterior is transferred through the interosseus membrane to the dorsum of the foot. Excellent or good results and two poor results were noted after a mean follow-up of 29 months. In the patients with an excellent or good result, marked improvement of their equinovarus foot deformity in stance and swing phase of gait was seen. In two patients, the procedure failed because of technical errors.
