Abstract

We developed a modified Young’s tenosuspension in conjunction with the Kidner procedure that avoids keyhole creation, simplifies tendon rerouting while maintaining a plantar-medial directed tibialis anterior vector to reduce its first-ray dorsiflexory moment, and uses a locking-running suture construct for fixation. This technique is a technically accessible, reproducible, and adoptable option for dynamic medial arch support.
