Abstract
We performed anterior transfer of the toe flexors in 5 patients (5 feet) with pes equinovarus. Two cases were due to cerebral palsy and two were due to peroneal palsy and one was caused by drop foot resulting from a venomous snake bite (Habu).
The follow-up period ranged from 1 year and 6 months to 2 years and 6 months, with an average of 2 years and 2 months. Four feet were judged to achieve good correction, one foot had a slight pes equinos deformity. On walking, all 5 patients were satisfied with their results physically and mentally.
This method was found to be effective for drop foot resulting from a venomous snake bite (Habu).
