Flail foot is a condition characterized by a significant weakness in ankle dorsiflexion, resulting in limited or no active mobility in the ankle. To address this issue, we described a novel approach called tenodesis, which has been developed for ankle joint stabilization. This technique utilizes the patient's tendons to minimize potential complications. The primary focus of this method is to preserve ankle passive dorsiflexion, thereby maintaining the foot in a neutral position, helping prevent foot drop, reducing the risk of neuropathic ulcers, and keeping joint proprioception. Furthermore, maintaining passive ankle dorsiflexion is particularly important in societies where activities such as squatting are integral to daily life. The study aims to introduce a new surgical technique for flail foot.
连枷足是一种以踝关节背屈明显无力为特征的病症，导致踝关节主动活动受限或完全丧失。为解决这一问题，我们描述了一种名为腱固定术的新方法，该方法已被开发用于踝关节稳定。这项技术利用患者自身的肌腱来尽量减少潜在并发症。该方法的主要重点是保留踝关节被动背屈，从而使足部保持中立位，有助于预防足下垂，降低神经性溃疡的风险，并保持关节本体感觉。此外，在深蹲等活动是日常生活不可或缺一部分的社会中，保持踝关节被动背屈尤为重要。本研究旨在介绍一种治疗连枷足的新手术技术。
