Augmenting the Deltoid Ligament with Posterior Tibial Tendon Transfer: A Novel Technique, Hummira H. Abawi, DPM, Baltimore Hear Cutting-Edge Research in Oral Abstracts Track | News | APMA

“Deltoid insufficiency plays a big role in progressive rearfoot valgus deformity, yet those who specialize in surgical management have limited options in primary repair,” said Dr. Abawi. “My novel technique in using the posterior tibial tendon to augment the deltoid in the double medial arthrodesis has helped maintain the osseous correction.”

“I hope the audience is able to use my novel technique when repairing the deltoid repair as either a primary option or bailout when a graft or anchors are not available.”
