Abstract
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) has been approached with a multitude of surgical techniques. This article outlines the current understanding of the flexor digitorum longus transfer and flexor hallucis longus transfer in the context of various osteotomy techniques for the correction of stage II PTTD. Pertinent clinical literature and scientific evidence will also be compared and analyzed.
