Abstract
The transfer of a normal tibialis posterior through the interosseous membrane to the dorsum of the foot can restore active ankle dorsiflexion where this has been lost from common peroneal injury, anterior compartment muscle loss, or in some neurological conditions. An appraisal of the indications, planning, and a step-by-step description is provided.
