TRANSPOSITION OF THE ANTERIOR TIBIAL TENDON IN THE TREATMENT OF RECURRENT CONGENITAL CLUB-FOOT

GEORGE J. GARCEAU M.D.1 and K. R. MANNING M.D.1

1 James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis

1. Recurrence of the deformity in club-foot is not infrequent.

2. The faulty mechanism of the muscles everting and inverting the foot may be the cause.

3. Recurrence of the deformity may be prevented by transposition of the anterior tibial tendon in selected cases.

4. This operation is not recommended for correction of the deformity.

5. The transposed anterior tibial tendon may be restored to the original insertion when planovalgus or overcorrection is apparent.

6. Satisfactory results were obtained in ninety-one, or 83 per cent., of the 110 feet so treated.
