Flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer provides a biomechanically strong structure to bridge the defect in surgical treatment of a chronic Achilles tendon rupture. Although the flexor hallucis longus remains the optimal tendon for transfer, others have described tendon transfer and augmentation with the plantaris, peroneus brevis, posterior tibial, and flexor digitorum longus. Tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus reside in the anterior compartment of the leg and would be out-of-phase transfers.
