The transfer of tibialis posterior tendon to correct leprous drop foot was done mostly by circumtibial route to bring the tendon to dorsum of the foot and insert it into the 2nd-3rd cuneiform bone.A series of forty cases with tibialis posterior tendon transfer was subjected to follow-up study regarding active motion of foot.The time of assessment ranged from one to six years, averaged three years and three months.It is clinicaly observed that 32 cases had normal gait, 5 cases mild high stepping and 3 cases high stepping.The transfered tendon must be fixed with the foot in rest position of 110, so that the range of active motion of foot may be restored 90° of dorsiflexion to 130° of plantar flexion.
