Content

In an FHL tendon transfer, the FHL tendon (which is a smaller tendon) is being tasked to provide plantar flexion in place of a damaged or resected Achilles tendon. Consequently, positioning the attachment point for the transferred FHL can be important to get an optimal desired biomechanical pull on the calcaneus, to get the optimal lever arm for plantar flexion.
