Soft Tissue andTendon Balancing
Procedures
Tendon Lengthening
Equinus deformity has classically been described
as limitation of passive ankle joint dorsiexion to
less than a right angle of the foot on the leg. This
limitation of joint mobility in dorsiexion motion
at the ankle has been implicated as a major
deforming force in the development and chronicity of plantar wound formations as well as midfoot Charcot collapse, among many other
pathologies. Glycation-induced collagen crosslinking secondary to diabetes mellitus sequelae
causes general disorganization of the Achilles
tendon, decreasing tensile strength and elasticity
while increasing stiffness [14]. These changes in
addition to the reduction in strength and exibility common in increased sedentary lifestyle and
advanced age result in pathologic reduction in
ankle dorsiexion during stance and swing
phases of gait. This contracture creates profound
increases in plantar pressures to the forefoot and
midfoot, oftentimes precipitating plantar ulcerations in the neuropathic population [37].
Measuring the maximal passive dorsiexion
available at the ankle with the subtalar joint
locked and the knee extended and then exed
accomplishes this task. Distinction between gastrocnemius or isolated equinus vs. gastrocnemiussoleus or combined equinus is signicant when
considering the correct procedure and level to
perform surgical lengthening of the posterior
group. The Silfverskiold Test is a common and
reproducible way to determine the source of
ankle contracture [38].
for soft tissue ankle equinus. The authors often
utilize the traditional Hoke [39] style percutane-
ous triple hemi-section of the distal excursion of
the Achilles tendon for patients with either com-
bined gastrocnemius-soleus equinus as well as
those with isolated gastrocnemius equinus, due to
its relatively minimally invasive approach, short
procedure length, and profound effect on improv-
ing ambulatory ankle dorsiexion range of
motion (Figs.26.10 and 26.11).
Procedure
With the foot held in maximal dorsiexion and
the Achilles tendon tensioned, vertical incisions
are made posteriorly at the midline of the skin
and fascia and into the Achilles tendon at 3, 6,
and 9cm proximal to the most superior aspect of
the calcaneus. It is the author’s preference to
Tendo-Achilles Lengthening (TAL)
Tendo-achilles lengthening is a common procedure performed in an assortment of instances of
foot and ankle pathology and in a number of
ways in order to achieve restoration of the sufcient ankle dorsiexion joint excursion required
during normal gait. In the complex wound
patient, the TAL is truly a utilitarian procedure

placements for Hoke style triple hemi-section distally
based tendo-achilles lengthening (TAL). Traditionally, the
Hoke TAL is performed with two medially directed (distal
and proximal) and one laterally directed (central) hemi-
sections; however, surgeon preference dictates actual per-
formance as long as the hemi-sections are performed in
alternating directions

mark these intervals using a ruler and skin marker
to ensure safe distance is maintained between
incisions. At each marked interval the surgeon
should palpate the medial and lateral borders of
the Achilles tendon and a #15 blade is then
inserted mid-substance within the tendon body
with the blade facing in-line with the tendon
bers. The blade is then rotated 90° and exited
the tendon in a sweeping motion alternating
between medial and lateral exits at each interval.
In effect this creates three separate partial hemisections of the Achilles tendon 50% from midline. Oftentimes a “release” of ankle contracture
will be noted with forced dorsiexion of the
ankle, and additional partial swipes may be
attempted at each tenotomy site to ensure complete hemi-section. This will provide for a correction for both combined gastrocnemius-soleus
equinus and isolated gastrocnemius equinus until
a sufcient intraoperative Silfverskiold test is
conrmed.
Gastrocnemius Recession (GR)
andGastrocnemius-Soleus Recession
(GSR)
Alternatively, if the Silfverskiold test determines equinus is visualized only with the knee
extended but not with the knee exed, patients
may have isolated gastrocnemius equinus, and
a gastrocnemius recession alone may be indi-
cated (Fig.26.12). The GR has several added
benets over a distally based TAL procedures,
including direct visualization of surgical anat-
omy, more proximal calf location which may
benet from superior vascularity, avoidance of
procedure in diseased tendon commonly seen
in the comorbid population, and an anecdotally
more “controlled” lengthening of the tissues.
Additionally, access for a GR provides for the
ability to also perform a lengthening of the
soleus muscular fascia in what is termed a gas-
trocnemius-soleus recession, which may be
preferable for patients with combined gastroc-
nemius-soleus equinus and may also be per-
formed via an endoscopic approach (Fig.26.13).
The authors ascribe to a traditional Baumann
[40] type approach to the GR and GSR when
appropriate (Fig.26.14).
Procedure
At 10cm distal to the tibial tuberosity a 6 cm
incision is centered at 50% of the posterior bulk
of the calf between the medial tibial crest and the
posterior aspect of the calf. With the ankle
stressed passively into maximal dorsiexion and
moving from lateral to medial a long-handled
scalpel with #15 blade is utilized to incise the
anterior portion of the gastrocnemius intermus-
cular fascia, including the plantaris tendon,
exposing the underlying gastrocnemius muscle

stroke or acquired exible forefoot equinovarus
following partial foot amputation. Patients with
plantar-lateral foot ulcerations, lateral column
amputations with the loss of the peroneus brevis
insertion or loss of peroneal tendon function
often have increased supinatory motion and thus
can benet from the ATTT [43, 44] (Fig.26.15).
Transfer of the anterior tibial (AT) tendon to the
lateral column can effectively balance the foot by
increasing everting forces and decreasing lateral
column pressures (Fig.26.16). Traditionally, the
distal insertion of the tendon is released from its
medial attachment and transferred laterally to the
lateral cuneiform. This aids to balance the power-
ful supinatory force of the posterior tibial tendon
while maintaining active dorsiexion of the foot.
Additionally, lateralizing the transfer on the foot
can increase its everting force, thus can be used
to treated spastic rearfoot varus, spastic
equniovarus, xed equinovarus, and excessive
supination.

belly. This will provide for a correction of isolated gastrocnemius equinus. Additional releases
to subsequent portions of the gastrocnemius
intermuscular fascia may be performed until a
sufcient intraoperative Silfverskiold test is conrmed. As mentioned, additional recession of
the soleus intramuscular fascia is also easily
accessible from this approach for instances of
combined gastrocnemius-soleus equinus for
GSR [41].
Tendon Transfers
Anterior Tibial Tendon Transfer
The anterior tibial tendon transfer (ATTT) was
rst described in 1940 for the correction of residual pediatric clubfoot [42, 43]. Since then, the
indications for the ATTT) have expanded, where
it is widely used to counter varus and supinatory
forces while maintaining active dorsiexion [43].
This is particularly useful in the treatment of
acquired pathology such as dropfoot following
Procedure
The patient is placed in the supine position. A
thigh tourniquet and ipsilateral hip bump is gen-
erally used. As with most tendon transfers, gen-
eral anesthesia with paralysis is recommended.
The transfer of the anterior tibial tendon is gener-
ally performed through three incisions. When
harvesting the tendon, the initial dorsal medial
3–4 cm incision is made over the medial
cuneiform- metatarsal joint (directly over the
insertion of the tendon). Expose and transect the
tendon at its insertion and tag end of the tendon
with a suture. The second incision is placed just
lateral to the myotendinous junction in the distal
lower leg. Palpate the course of the anterior tibial
tendon to just below the muscle belly. A 3–4cm
incision is made just lateral to the tendon. This
incision can be placed about 10–12cm proximal
to the ankle joint. Incise the tendon sheath and
expose the AT tendon. Harvest the transected ten-
don proximally to its origin. Once harvested, a
2-0 prolene can be used) to whip stitch the distal
portion of the tendon. The placement of the third
incision is dependent on the desired function of
the tendon. If pure dorsiexion is desired, then
the incision is placed over the lateral cuneiform

tive (a) and postoperative (b) status post-anterior tibial
tendon transfer (ATTT) for retained exible forefoot
insertion. The indications for the STATT are similar to the complete tendon transfer. The tendon
can be transferred to the same locations as the
complete transfer [45]. If the desired location is
the base of the fth metatarsal, the tendon may be
tenodesed to the peroneus tertius.
Procedure
Patient positioning, anesthesia, incision, and harvest technique are the same for the STATT and
AT tendon transfers with one minor difference.
After the tendon is exposed in the lower leg, an
osteotome or malleable retractor is placed under
the tendon and tension is applied to the tendon.
After the tendon) is held taut, using a # 15 blade
a longitudinal full-thickness stab incision is made
in the central aspect of the tendon. A 0–0 prolene
or braided suture is fed through the split until
equal length suture is on either end of the split.

loop passer is fed through the tendon sheath from
the tendon’s insertion at the medial cuneiform
rst metatarsal joint proximally up to the second
incision. The suture is pulled through the tendon
sheath distally. The foot is slightly plantarexed
and inverted to tension the tendon. In a back-and-
forth sawing motion the suture is pulled distally
toward the tendon insertion splitting the tendon
in half. Care must be taken to pull the suture in
the longitudinal direction of the tendon. If the
suture deviates, it can cause premature transec-
tion of the tendon. This can cause loss of tendon
length. Once the suture exits distally at the inser-
tion, the lateral half of the tendon is identied)
and transected. This portion is pulled proximally.
A 2-0 prolene is whip stitched through the har-
vested tendon. The lateral portion of the tendon is
then tunneled subcutaneously to the lateral foot
and transferred into the base of the fourth, fth
metatarsal or distal cuboid. It may also be teno-
desed to the peroneus brevis. As with the AT ten-

Fig. 26.17 Clinical images AP view (a, b)—preopera-

(PT) tendon transfer for combined equinovarus deformity
Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer
The anterior placed transfer of the posterior tibial (PT) Tendon was rst described by Ober in
1933 [46]. Putti discussed transferring the tendon through the interosseous membrane in
1937, but this procedure was popularized by
Watkins in 1955 [47]. Transfer of this tendon to
the dorsum of the foot is mainly indicated for
dorsiexory weakness or paralysis such as is
found in weak or paralyzed anterior muscle
group, equinovarus, spastic equinovarus, recurrent clubfoot deformities, dropfoot, CharcotMarie-Tooth disease, peroneal nerve palsy, and
Duchenne muscular dystrophy. PT tendon transfers can also be used to reduce deforming supinatory forces and reduce varus recurrence such
as in the setting of peroneal tendon weakness.
following Lisfranc level amputation. Note the signicant
correction of the forefoot varus positioning and mainte-
nance of balanced positioning postoperatively
This is commonly seen when osteomyelitis to
the base of the fth metatarsal requires loss of
peroneus brevis insertion point (Fig.26.17). A
four-incision approach is preferred in order to
harvest, prepare, pass, and subsequently secure
the entirety of the PT tendon into a lateralized
position relative to the axis of motion of both
the subtalar joint and long axis of the midtarsal
joint (Fig.26.18). The authors prefer a complete
PT tendon transfer utilizing a four- incision
approach as it provides greater functional action
of the tendon while also completely removing it
from contributing as a deforming force.
Additionally if the spring ligament and capsule
of the talonavicular joint are intact they are
likely not to permit midfoot progression to pla-
nus deformity.
