Transfersof the tendon of the tibialis posterior through the interosseous membrane to the third cuneiform bone were performed on 6 paralytic club feet (5 cases), and all of them resulted in reverse deformities such as calcaneovalgus or planovalgus. Causes of these revers deformities seem to be the reverse muscle imbalance produced by the transferd muscle and other spastic or flaccid muscles and loss of the stabilizing function of the tibialis posterior on the subtalar joint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
