Learn the Tibialis Anterior Reconstruction (Extensor Hallucis Longus transfer) surgical technique with step by step instructions on OrthOracle. Our e-learning platform contains high resolution images and a certified CME of the Tibialis Anterior Reconstruction (Extensor Hallucis Longus transfer) surgical procedure.

The Tibialis Anterior is not commonly effected by tendon pathology.

Degenerative change is treated like any other tendon with a non-operative program including physiotherapy and activity modifications initially.

The tendon transfer detailed here is of use after a radical debridement of a degenerate tendon or in reconstructing a chronic rupture .
