Interosseous membrane window size for tibialis posterior tendon transfer —Geometrical and MRI analysis

Tibialis posterior transfer was first reported by Ober in 1933 [1]. He described the circumtibial technique. This transfer allows the foot to recover (at least partially) its dorsiflexion motion in pathologies such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth, leprosy, mononeuropathy, common peroneal nerve injury, stroke, Duchenne muscular dystrophy [2 –5,7], whenever the deformity is flexible.
