- Discussion:
- tendon transfers are never indicated in the initial treatment of club foot, but they may be of benefit in special circumstances;
- even though the major deformities have been corrected satisfactorily, flexible fore part of the foot may tend to supinate during the
swing phase of gait;
- lateral half of tendon of
anterior tibial muscle can be transferred to second or third cuneiform;
