Transposition of Tibialis Anterior to the Cuboid after Tarsometatarsal Amputation

Forefoot and midfoot amputees are prone to develop nonhealing ulcers at the closure site. This mainly occurs due to the limited dorsiflexion ability of the ankle and associated loss of protective function as seen in diabetics. One of the proposed methods to prevent these postamputation ulcers includes tendoachilles lengthening during the procedure. We describe three cases with nonhealing ulcers on the lateral aspect after a midfoot amputation. All of the cases underwent a tibialis anterior transposition to the lateral aspect of the foot to correct the deformity and at the same time also achieved healing of the ulcers.
