Abstract
Complete anterior tibial tendon transfer for the treatment of the recurrent clubfoot was first described by Garceau.1 Split anterior tibial tendon transfer has been described in the treatment of the spastic equinovarus foot deformity in both the adult and child.2–4 To our knowledge, split tibialis anterior tendon transfer has not been reported before as an isolated treatment of the recurrent idiopathic clubfoot. A split tendon transfer is thought to have a lower risk of over-correction, although this has never been proven in comparative studies. We report our results using a split tendon transfer for the treatment of the recurrent clubfoot. We assess outcome clinically, pedobarographically and ultimately whether the patient required further surgery.
