Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is a well-recognized
technique in the treatment of the neglected tendo Achillis (TA)
rupture. We report a retrospective review of 20/32 patients who had undergone
transtendinous FHL transfer between 2003 and 2011 for chronic TA
rupture. Their mean age at the time of surgery was 53 years (22
to 83). The mean time from rupture to surgery was seven months (1
to 36). The mean postoperative follow-up was 73 months (29 to 120).
Six patients experienced postoperative wound complications.Aims
