Z-plasty of the flexor hallucis longus tendon at tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity.

Authors:
Jae Hoon Lee Young Jun Kim Jong Hun Baek Dong Hee Kim

J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong) 2016 12;24(3):354-357

Departments of Orthopedic Surgery, Kyung Hee University Hospital, School of Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Korea.

Purposes: To review the outcome of Z-plasty of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon at the tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity in 8 patients.

Methods: Records of 6 males and 2 females aged 14 to 67 (mean, 39.5) years who underwent Z-plasty (lengthening) of the FHL tendon at the tarsal tunnel for checkrein deformity in the first and second toes by a single surgeon were reviewed. All patients had undergone 3 months of conservative treatment. The mean time from injury to surgical treatment was 8.4 (range, 5-12) months. All patients had associated injuries including distal tibiofibular fracture (n=6), distal fibular fracture (n=1), and crush injury aroundthe ankle (n=1); they were treated with intramedullary nailing (n=6), long leg splinting (n=1), and short leg splinting (n=1).

Results: After a mean follow-up of 3.4 (range, 1-7) years, the FHL tendon was lengthened by a mean of 1.7 (range, 1.6-1.8) cm, and the mean American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society hallux score increased from 59 (range, 52-67) to 89 (range, 80-90). No patient had recurrence, nerve injury, or tarsal tunnel syndrome, although one patient had sensory disturbance of the posterior tibial nerve in the forefoot, which resolved spontaneously at week 2.

Conclusion: Z-plasty of the FHL tendon at the tarsal tunnel is a viable option for correction of checkrein deformity.

How Common is Subsequent Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction or Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome After Ankle Sprain Injury?

Authors:
Kaitlyn S Foster Tina A Greenlee Jodi L Young Cory F Janney Daniel I Rhon

J Knee Surg 2022 Aug 9. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas.

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) and tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) are debilitating conditions reported to occur after ankle sprain due to their proximity to the ankle complex. The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of PTTD and TTS in the 2 years following an ankle sprain and which variables are associated with its onset. In total, 22,966 individuals in the Military Health System diagnosed with ankle sprain between 2010 and 2011 were followed for 2 years. Read More

Iatrogenic nerve injury and foot drop: Surgical results in 28 patients.

Authors:
Rahul Kumar Nath Chandra Somasundaram

Surg Neurol Int 2022 23;13:274. Epub 2022 Jun 23.

Department of Research, Texas Nerve and Paralysis Institute, Houston, Texas, United States.

Background: Most peroneal nerve injuries resulting in foot drop are secondary to trauma or iatrogenic. Foot drop can occur due to potential complications from the hip, lumbosacral spine, and knee surgeries, which are critical to diagnose and manage.

Methods: We reviewed our foot drop patients' data to determine the incidence and iatrogenic causes of the injury and managed surgically by neurolysis of the peroneal nerve and transfer of functional fascicles of either the superficial peroneal or the tibial nerve to the deep peroneal nerve.

Iowa Orthop J 2022 06;42(1):121-125

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, USA.

Background: A 54-year-old woman presented with varus ankle arthritis, which was corrected with total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Immediately postoperatively, she was insensate throughout the plantar foot. After seven weeks, she underwent tarsal tunnel release, and the tibial nerve was found to be intact. Read More
