Abstract Background The transfer of Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendon (FHL) is an established
method for the treatment of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures. An extensive examination of …

Achilles tendon ruptures can be debilitating for patients, affecting ankle stability, strength,
and proper gait mechanics. Over the past 40 years, incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures …

Background. Chronic Achilles tendon ruptures can lead to reduced power of plantar flexion
in the ankle with impaired gait ability. The open 1-or 2-incision technique for flexor hallucis …

Aims The traditional transosseus flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer for patients
with Achilles tendinopathy requires two incisions to harvest a long tendon graft. The use of a …

Endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer to replace the calcaneal tendon is
being increasingly performed. The main advantage is minimisation of approach-related …

The purposes of this study were to integrate the types of interconnecting fibers among
components of the chiasma plantare and to deduce their flexion actions. The chiasma …

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical stability of a new designed plate for
posterointernal tibial plateau fracture fixation, and compare with traditional fixation implants …
