Tibialis posterior muscle (MTP) tendon transfer through the interosseous route was performed on the same day. The follow-up period included a clinical neurological examination, a modified Stanmore System questionnaire (MSSQ), electromyographic examination of the interference pattern, and a video-based analysis of the gait biomechanics in the 3rd and 12th months. Video analysis of the gait investigated the presence or reduction of \u201cstair-climbing maneuver\u201d (SCM), foot slap (FS), and foot stability during the gait cycle.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The average range of active dorsiflexion in the 3rd month was 0.85\u00b0. SCM accompanied walking in 6 patients (86%). FS accompanied walking in 3 patients (43%) and 3 patients (43%) avoided FS by planting the entire foot on the ground. All patients required orthopedic support (shoe inserts) to compensate for mediolateral foot instability. The average MSSQ score was 80.4 points. The average duration for the effective recovery of function (\u2265 4 points on the Medical Research Council grading system) of long toe extensors was 11.2 months. The average range of active dorsiflexion in the 12th month increased to 4.4\u00b0. A reduction of FS was observed in 5 patients (71%). Excessive foot eversion was reduced in 4 patients (57%). Another 3 patients (43%) required no specific orthopedic shoe inserts. Reduction of pathological motor phenomena with recovery of the long toe extensors resulted in an increase of functional outcome. The average MSSQ score after 12 months was 92.4 points.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Partial tibial nerve transfer to the motor branches of the extensor hallucis longus and the long toe extensors along with the simultaneous tibialis posterior tendon transfer produce the reduction of FS and bring mediolateral stability to the foot, i.e., improved gait biomechanics. The reduction of pathological motor phenomena at the time of recovery of the long toe extensors is reflected in an increase in patients\u2019 functional perception of the injured lower extremity during daily walking.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.3.jns182866","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,29]],"date-time":"2019-06-29T00:44:22Z","timestamp":1561769062000},"page":"224-232","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Choosing the target wisely: partial tibial nerve transfer to extensor digitorum motor branches with simultaneous posterior tibial tendon transfer.
