10-year follow-up of split anterior tibial tendon transfer in cerebral palsied patients with spastic equinovarus deformity.

Split anterior tibial tendon transfer was performed on 21 patients (27 feet) with cerebral palsy and spastic equinovarus deformity. All patients required orthoses preoperatively. All but two patients are now community ambulators with improved gait and without need for orthoses. There was one recurrence of deformity.
