We describe suspension tenodesis of the tibialis anterior tendon to the distal tibia to correct the footdrop deformity. This technique is simpler to perform and more secure than transferring the distal attachment of a tendon to a new location in the foot itself or using tendon weaving techniques. In addition, compared with an ankle fusion, our technique allows for a certain amount of shock absorption during gait and is much less invasive, and a future ankle fusion could be performed if needed for full stability and definitive correction of the symptomatic footdrop. Finally, the technique we describe is easily reproducible and seems to remain stable over time.
