In the correction of footdrop due to leprosy neuritis the tibialis posterior muscle is re-routed and used to provide dorsiflexion of the foot. This study of tibialis posterior transfer was carried out to compare the results of the circumtibial and interosseous routes. There is no significant difference in the range of motion between either route through the range of the interosseous route is more functional (better dorsiflexion). The interosseous route is preferable as this results in a significantly lower incidence of recurrent inversion deformity of the foot at long-term follow-up when compared with the circumtibial route.
在矫正麻风性神经炎所致的足下垂时，将胫后肌重新调整路径并用于提供足背屈。本胫后肌转移研究旨在比较经胫骨周围和骨间途径的结果。两种途径在活动范围上无显著差异，不过骨间途径的功能更好（背屈更佳）。骨间途径更可取，因为与经胫骨周围途径相比，在长期随访中其导致足反复内翻畸形的发生率显著更低。
