LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In this video, Matthew S. Conti, MD, discusses results that indicate the addition of an isolated brevis to longus tendon transfer may lead to correction of flatfoot deformity.
“The addition of a brevis to longus transfer during the reconstruction of the flexible progressive collapsing foot deformity resulted in dynamic correction of multiple flexible, flatfoot deformities, as well as removing the deforming force on the foot,” Conti, an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery, told Healio about the study, which was presented at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Annual Meeting.
