[The treatment of spastic equinovarus in the adult by transplantation of peroneus brevis and lengthening of the tendo-calcaneus (author's transl)].
A new technique is proposed for the treatment of spastic equinovarus foot. After lengthening the tendo calcaneus, the peroneus brevis tendon is divided at the junction with its muscle belly and the distal end of the tendon is transferred through the interosseous membrane to be sutured to the tendo calcaneus. This technique aims to correct the varus as well as the equinus deformity. It was performed in seven cases with good results. The technique is compared with other methods designed to treat this condition. The method is worthwhile in cases without bony deformity.
