Patients and Methods: 13 feet in 13 ambulatory children with spastic cerebral palsy complaining from dynamic equino varus deformity, preoperatively 7 of the fair,6 of them were poor, while postoperatively 2 of them became excellent,10 of them good and 1 of the fair.
Results: The result of this prospective case series study assessed by using Garceau and Palmer criteria.
Conclusion: Split tibialis anterior tendon transfer, is a good method for treating ambulatory children with spastic cerebral palsy complaining of dynamic equinovarus deformity of the forefoot and midfoot which is due to overactivity of tibialis anterior muscle and weak antagonists.
