Tendon Transfer In Lower Leg, Superficial Route

Detaches a tendon in the lower leg and reattaches it in a new place so a working muscle takes over a job a weakened one can no longer do. The tendon is rerouted along a path just beneath the skin rather than through the deeper space between the two leg bones. It is used for a foot that drops or turns inward when walking because of nerve or muscle weakness.
