  • Title: Tendon Transfers Around the Foot: When and Where.
    Author: Kuo KN, Wu KW, Krzak JJ, Smith PA.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2015 Dec; 20(4):601-17. PubMed ID: 26589081.
    Abstract:
    Tendon transfers are invaluable in the treatment of severe children's foot deformities. They are often preferable to simple releases, lengthening, or fusion in surgical treatment because they provide an active motor function for deformity correction and, when properly selected, the procedures stabilize the foot against progressive deformity. The authors describe 4 commonly used tendon transfer procedures that are useful in children's foot deformity surgeries.
