Category:OtherIntroduction/Purpose:Posterior tibial tendon transfer is preferred by many colleagues for cases of drop foot caused by peroneal nerve palsy that are at least a year old with little chance of motor improvement. However, several studies have reported acquired flat foot deformity following tendon transfer, to best of our knowledge, no studies have been performed to assess whether posterior tibial tendon transfer influences occurrence of postoperative flat foot deformity quantitatively.Methods:With IRB approval, a retrospective review was performed. Twenty-four patients were followed for more than 2 years after anterior transfer of TP tendon by one surgeon for the foot drop by peroneal nerve palsy from 2008 to 2013. The mean age was 35.9 years, and the mean follow-up period was 50.5 months. There were 10 female and 14 male patients.
