Abstract
Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer to replace the calcaneal tendon is being increasingly performed. The main advantage is minimisation of approach-related morbidity. Fixation of the FHL tendon is usually achieved with a tenodesis screw placed in a vertical calcaneal tunnel. Here, we describe an endoscopic technique with FHL fixation by tenodesis in a horizontal calcaneal tunnel combined with suturing of the tendon onto itself. Level of evidenceIV.
