The Bridle group had preoperative and 2-year postoperative radiographic foot alignment measurements and completion of the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure. At follow-up, both groups were tested for standing balance (star excursion test) and for ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion isokinetic strength, and the American Orthopaedic Foot &amp; Ankle Society and Stanmore outcome measures were collected only on the Bridle patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was no change in radiographic foot alignment from pre- to postoperative measurement. Foot and Ankle Ability Measure subscales of activities of daily living and sport, American Orthopaedic Foot &amp; Ankle Society, and Stanmore scores were all reduced in Bridle patients as compared with controls. Single-limb standing-balance reaching distance in the anterolateral and posterolateral directions were reduced in Bridle participants as compared with controls ( P &lt; .03). Isokinetic ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion strength was lower in Bridle participants (2 \u00b1 4 ft\u00b7lb, 44 \u00b1 16 ft\u00b7lb) as compared with controls (18 \u00b1 13 ft\u00b7lb, 65 \u00b1 27 ft\u00b7lb, P &lt; .02, respectively). All Bridle participants reported excellent to good outcomes and would repeat the operation. No patient wore an ankle-foot orthosis for everyday activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Bridle procedure was a successful surgery that did not restore normal strength and balance to the foot and ankle but allowed individuals with foot drop and a functional tibialis posterior muscle to have significantly improved outcomes and discontinue the use of an ankle-foot orthosis. In addition, there was no indication that loss of the normal function of the tibialis posterior muscle resulted in change in foot alignment 2 years after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III, retrospective comparative series.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715593146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,9]],"date-time":"2015-07-09T22:21:02Z","timestamp":1436480462000},"page":"1287-1296","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Outcomes of the Bridle Procedure for the Treatment of Foot Drop"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey E.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, St Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.
