Tendon Transfer (FHL to Achilles) 肌腱转位术(屈拇长肌腱加强跟腱) Overview(概述) This procedure repositions the flexor hallucis longus tendon, (commonly called the "FHL" tendon) to reinforce a diseased Achilles tendon. The ...
The advantages of doing an FHL transfer include: utilisation of a vascularised tendon with a strong viable muscle, low morbidity and it represents a reproducible technique. Although it may be a good primary indication for CATR and non-insertional AT tendinopathy, it seems reasonable to be ...
In an attempt to circumvent these potential problems the authors have devised a technique to harvest FHL minimally invasively. The purpose of this paper is to describe the early results in 8 patients with 9 Achilles ruptures. Materials and Methods: Patients with a delayed tendo Achilles rupture...
