Résumé
To compare the outcomes of early and standard rehabilitation protocols following tendon transfers in the foot and ankle using interference screw fixation (ISF). A systematic review was performed for relevant articles (1998 to 2020) reporting foot tendon transfer using ISF in adults. The primary outcome was early tendon failure. Secondary outcomes included function and complications. In total, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria, totalling 494 patients. Seven studies reported early rehabilitation protocols. The rate of early tendon failure was zero for each protocol and studies consistently reported a significant improvement in function. No differences were found comparing different rehabilitation protocols for tendon transfer for Achilles tendon pathology and foot drop. Both early and standard rehabilitation protocols are associated with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates, but currently there is a lack of evidence to support early loaded activities or motion. IV Systematic review including case series.
