Abstract
In patients with chronic Achilles tendon disorders, Achilles tendon debridement can
be supplemented with a tendon transfer, with the flexor hallucis longus tendon (FHL)
transfer representing the most common used technique. Our study describes clinical
and functional results of patients treated with flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon
transfer in the treatment of patients with chronic Achilles tendon disorders.
