A modified technique for flexor-to-extensor tendon transfer to correct residual metatarsophalangeal extension in the treatment of hammertoes.

Abstract

A variety of surgical procedures exist for the correction of hammertoe

deformities, and several different methods of flexor tendon transfer have been

described for the correction of hammertoes associated with extension contracture

of the corresponding metatarsophalangeal joint. In the present report, we have

described a variation of flexor tendon tenodesis we have found useful.
