Determination of optimal screw positioning in flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer for chronic tendoachilles rupture

Publication year: 2011 Source: Foot and Ankle Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 74-78 M.H. Arastu, R. Partridge, A. Crocombe, M. Solan BackgroundNeglected ruptures of the tendoachilles pose a difficult surgical problem. There are no data to determine the optimal positioning of the FHL tendon to the calcaneus.MethodsTwo computer programmes (MSC.visualNastran Desktop 2002™ and Solid EdgeV19) were used to generate a human ankle joint model.
