6 cze 2017 · The two-incision technique involves making an incision on the inside arch of the foot where the FHL tendon is harvested. A second incision is made in line with the Achilles tendon on the inside aspect of the lower leg, where the Achilles tendon is identified, as well as the muscle belly of the FHL.
An Achilles tendon transfer surgery reconstructs the foot, moving the tendon from its regular location to an area that facilitates more natural function and comfort. Once repositioned, the ankle and foot revert to less restrained movement.
This procedure repositions the flexor hallucis longus tendon, (commonly called the "FHL" tendon) to reinforce a diseased Achilles tendon. The FHL tendon travels along the inner side of the ankle and foot. It is responsible for flexing the big toe. Repositioning it adds strength to the Achilles.
This study aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical outcome of flexor hallucis longus tendon (FHL) transfer for chronic AT rupture with large defect. Clinical data of patients treated with FHL transfer due to chronic AT rupture between January 2009 and October 2019 were reviewed retrospectively.
16 sty 2023 · Local tendon transfer procedures can be used in chronic Achilles tendon ruptures. This study evaluated the outcome, return to sport, and complications of local tendon transfer in patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture.
Surgical treatment of Achilles tendinosis includes percutaneous longitudinal tenotomies, 24 gastrocnemius recession, 25,26 excision of the degenerated area and primary repair, and excision of the degenerated area with tendon augmentation of the debrided tendon segment.
Combined flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer and bone-tendon allograft transplantation is a reasonable option for advanced distal-segment Achilles tendinopathy. This procedure provides anatomic restoration and improved function of the posterior muscle group without sacrificing the regional anatomy.
