We reviewed 11 @entity1 who had been treated between January 1986 and June 1994 for severe @entity13256 by tendon transfer with microvascular free flaps. Their mean age was 5.6 years (3 to 8). Five had simultaneous tendon transfer and a microvascular free flap and six had separate operations. The mean interval between the tendon transfer and the microvascular free flap was 5.8 months (2 to 15) and the mean time between the @entity1796 .6 months (2 to 21). The anterior tibial tendon was split in five of six cases. The posterior tibial tendon was used three times and the extensor digitorum longus tendon twice. The mean follow-up was 39.7 months (24 to 126). There were nine excellent and two good results. @entity260 included loosening of the transferred tendon (2), @entity1159 (1) mild @entity5109 (1) and @entity2805 (2). We recommend tendon transfer with a microvascular free flap in @entity1 with @entity13256 combined with nerve @entity272 , soft tissue and tendon.
