Tendon Transfers and Bunions Flashcards

1
Q

Adductor tendon transfer

A
  • Adductor tendon is transected at its attachment to the lateral sesamoid and lateral base of the proximal phalanx and re-routed over the metatarsal head and attached to the medial capsule
  • Performed with HAV surgery to help realign the sesamoid apparatus under the metatarsal head

Q

Jones tenosuspension

A
  • EHL tendon is transected and rerouted medial to lateral through the head of the 1st metatarsal and sewed back on itself
  • Kirk modification is to pass the tendon from top to bottom (dorsal to plantar) which requires less tendon
  • The distal stump of EHL is then attached to the EHB to maintain some extensor function of the hallux
  • Arthrodesis of the 1st IPJ to prevent overpowering of the EHL and hammering
  • Performed for pressure problems under the 1st met head
  • Indications: flexible cavus foot, flexible plantarflexed 1st ray

  • EDB tendons are transected and reattached to the stump of the corresponding EDL tendon
  • 4th and 5th longus slips are both attached to the 4th EDB slip

Q

Split tibialis anterior tendon transfer (STATT)

A
  • Tibialis anterior is split from its insertion just proximal to the superior extensor retinaculum
  • The lateral fibers are passed through the peroneus tertius sheath and sutured to the tendon or attached to the cuboid
  • This increases dorsiflexion of the foot and balances the foot laterally
  • Indications: flexible rearfoot varus, excessive supination, dorsiflexory weakness

  • Peroneus longus may also be split and half anastomosed to the tibialis anterior at its insertion and the other half anastomosed to the peroneus tertius

A
  • Same as Peabody except lateral cortex is not preserved in order to shift capital fragment laterally
  • Able to also correct IM (lateral shift)
  • Able to correct PASA (medial wedge resection)
  • Corrects metatarsus elevatus because capital fragment can be plantarflexed

Q

DRATO

A

Derotational abductory transpositional osteotomy (DRATO)
