How Do Different Anterior Tibial Tendon Transfer Techniques Influence Forefoot and Hindfoot Motion?

Abstract

Our study results show that the amount of forefoot pronation varied for different transfer methods. Supple dynamic forefoot supination may be treated with a whole transfer using a two-incision technique to avoid overcorrection, while a three-incision technique or a split transfer may be useful for more resistant feet. Confirmation of these findings awaits further clinical trials.
