HPI - 22 years girl who after a vaccine done in childhood developed an equinovarus left foot and paralitic left hand.She came to me and insist to do something so she can walk better. I told her i have no experience in foot deformity but she doesn't want to go to someone else. She want's to have a better walk, without a limp. She is independent, don't need any crutch.No active dorsiflexion. By manipulation, without analgesia,sedation or relaxation i can brig her foot at normal position and neutral dorsiflexion..no more than that...the pictures done are in the OR with the C-ARM.I have read a lot about SPLATT technique but also about tibialis posterior tendon transfer for foot deformity...whichone is better? i don't have a collegue to ask because in Roumania usualy we have to do everything so nobody is specialised in something. What i was thinking was a SPLATT technique with a percutan Achille lenghtening.
What procedure should i choose for the patient?
