Скачать или смотреть From Paralysed Foot To Walking Again- Foot Drop deformity Surgery ( Ayushman Scheme)- By Dr Adnan

Have you or a loved one been struggling with foot drop? That frustrating condition where you can’t lift the front of your foot, causing it to drag or slap the ground when you walk? It can make every step a challenge and a fall risk.

Well, if other treatments like braces or physical therapy haven’t provided the solution you need, there’s a remarkable surgical option we’re going to explore today: Tendon Transfer Surgery.

Think of it like this: the nerve that used to power your foot-lifting muscle might be damaged, but the muscles on the back and inside of your calf are often still strong and working perfectly. In a tendon transfer, a surgeon literally reroutes one of these healthy, working tendons—often the posterior tibial tendon—from the inside of your ankle to the top of your foot.

It’s a brilliant biological solution. We’re not implanting a foreign device; we’re using your own body’s resources to restore function. By repositioning this tendon and its attached muscle, we give it a new job: to actively pull your foot upward into the crucial “dorsiflexion” position.

The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia. After carefully making the necessary incisions, the surgeon detaches the donor tendon, reroutes it, and reattaches it to the bone on the top of your foot at just the right tension.

Recovery involves a period in a cast or boot to protect the transfer while it heals into the bone. But the real work begins with dedicated physical therapy. You’ll literally have to retrain your brain and this muscle for its new role. With commitment, most patients regain the ability to lift their foot, walk with a more normal gait, and step confidently without a brace.

It’s a journey, but one that can lead to a dramatic improvement in mobility, safety, and independence.
