Flexor Digitorum Longus (FDL) Tendon Transfer

A Flexor Digitorum Longus Tendon transfer is indicated for patients with dysfunction of the posterior tibial tendon, where the tendon has become stretched beyond its functional length or has ruptured. As a result, the FDL tendon is transferred into a bone tunnel in the navicular bone and fixated with a screw from the Bio-Tenodesis™ Screw System.
