Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer Improves Function for Foot Drop After Knee Dislocation

摘要

BackgroundKnee dislocation may be associated with an injury to the common peroneal nerve with a subsequent foot drop. Previous studies have demonstrated good functional results after posterior tibial tendon transfer in patients with foot drop. No studies, to our knowledge, have focused exclusively on knee dislocation as the cause of common peroneal nerve injury leading to foot drop.
