A biomechanical analysis of interference screw versus bone tunnel fixation of flexor hallucis longus tendon transfers to the calcaneus
The flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer is commonly used to restore function in chronic
Achilles tendon ruptures and chronic Achilles tendinopathy. The tendon is often secured to
the calcaneus either through a bone tunnel or by an interference screw. We hypothesized
that tenodesis using the bone tunnel method would be mechanically superior to interference
screw fixation for flexor hallucis longus transfers. Eight matched pairs of cadaveric
specimens were assigned randomly to the bone tunnel or interference screw technique and …
