The document discusses various foot deformities that can occur in cerebral palsy, including varus, valgus, equinovarus, and equinovalgus deformities. It describes how these deformities can be addressed through both soft tissue procedures like tendon lengthenings and transfers, as well as bone procedures like osteotomies of the calcaneus when deformities are rigid. Specific procedures discussed in detail include posterior tibial tendon lengthening and transfers, anterior tibial tendon splits, and Dwyer's calcaneal osteotomy.
The term ‘cerebral palsy’ includes a group of disorders that result from permanent non-progressive brain damage during early development and are characterized by abnormalities of movement and posture.
Tendon transfer in neuro-muscular foot jitendra jain
Main etiology of Foot deformity in neuro-muscular disorder is muscular weakness & tone imbalance. Most of time this deformity is progressive so it is very important to have a permanent solution. Tendon transfer plays a very important role in balancing the muscle tone & power around the foot.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

• Forefoot adduction deformity
• Hallux valgus deformity
• Claw toes
2
4. Varus or Valgus Deformity- Introduction
• Varus and valgus deformities can occur in patients with cerebral
palsy, most commonly in association with an equinus deformity
• It has been shown that TA (tibialis anterior or anterior tibial muscle)
muscle dysfunction alone or in combination with dysfunction of the
TP (tibialis posterior or posterior tibial muscle) muscle is more
commonly the cause of Varus deformity than isolated TP dysfunction
4
5. Varus or Valgus Deformity
• In hemiplegia the foot deformity has been found to be either equinus
or equinovarus
• In diplegia and quadriplegia it was valgus or varus
• Although less common, varus deformities are
• more functionally disabling
• more difficult to manage nonoperatively and
• easier to correct operatively
5
6. Varus or Valgus Deformity
• Consequently, surgery is done more often and more successfully for
varus than for valgus deformities
6
7. Varus or Valgus Deformity
• The biomechanics of the hip and knee also influence whether a varus
or valgus deformity is present
• Diplegic patients typically have
• internally rotated and adducted hips
• flexed knees
• external rotation deformity of the tibia
• This combination of deformities causes the foot to assume a valgus
position
7
8. Varus or Valgus Deformity
• In hemiplegic patients, the internally rotated thigh with the knee
coming to full extension in stance phase causes the foot to internally
rotate and produce a varus deformity
8
10. Equinovarus Deformity
• The normal posterior tibial muscle is active during stance phase to
stabilize the foot and inactive during swing phase
• In cerebral palsy, the TP contracts during swing phase, leading to the
varus position of the foot at heel strike
10
11. Equinovarus Deformity
• It is essential to determine which muscles are responsible for the
deformity before any attempt at surgical correction
• It also is important to determine whether the deformity is flexible and
correctable or rigid
11
12. Equinovarus Deformity
• Patients with flexible deformities are more likely to be successfully
treated nonoperatively with orthotics and shoe modifications and
operatively with soft tissue procedures such as tendon lengthenings,
releases, or transfers (usually of the abnormally active muscle)
• Patients with rigid varus deformities generally require bone
procedures, such as calcaneal osteotomy
12
14. Lengthening of the Posterior Tibial
Tendon
• The posterior tibial tendon can be lengthened in a variety of ways,
including open Z-plasty of the tendon itself and various recession
procedures, such as step-cut lengthening and intramuscular
lengthening
• A Z-plasty lengthening of the tendon, although it gives a large amount
of correction, can cause scarring and tethering of the tendon in its
sheath, leading to recurrence of deformity
14
15. Lengthening of the Posterior Tibial
Tendon
• Recession procedures such as lengthening at the musculotendinous
junction have a lower risk of overlengthening and scarring of the
tendon sheath
• Recession procedures, because the tendon itself is spared, are good
for patients at high risk of recurrence or in whom a posterior tibial
transfer may be needed in the future
15
17. Musculotendinous Recession of the
Posterior Tibial Tendon
• Place the patient supine, and make a 3-cm longitudinal incision over
the posteromedial aspect of the tibia, at the junction between the
middle and distal thirds
• Incise the deep fascia, and identify the flexor digitorum longus and
retract it posteriorly
• Identify the posterior tibial musculotendinous junction by placing a
hemostat beneath it and observing its action when inverting the foot
without flexing the toes
17
21. Musculotendinous Recession of the
Posterior Tibial Tendon
• Pass a hemostat around the tendinous portion of the
musculotendinous junction to isolate it from the surrounding muscle,
protecting the neurovascular bundle
• Divide the tendinous portion of the posterior tibial musculotendinous
unit, leaving its muscular fibers intact
• Manipulate the foot into an overcorrected position
• Close the wound, and apply a short-leg walking cast
21
23. Split Tendon Transfers
• Depending on the muscles that are out of phase, split tendon
transfers of the posterior or anterior tendon can be done
• Full tendon transfers should be avoided because of the higher risk of
complications and overcorrection of the deformity
23
24. Split Tendon Transfers
• Preoperatively, it is essential to ensure that the deformity is flexible
and to identify the correct tendon to be transferred
• The split transfer not only improves active muscle function during gait
but also acts as a dynamic sling, balancing the abnormal forces evenly
across the foot
24
25. KLING, KAUFER, HENSINGER-
Posterior tendon transfer
• Begin the first of two incisions 5 cm proximal and medial to the
medial malleolus, and extend the incision distally, ending over the
navicular
• Identify the posterior tibial muscle and tendon
• Identify and protect the neurovascular bundle
25
27. KLING, KAUFER, HENSINGER
• Open the anterior aspect of the tendon sheath preserving the
posterior tunnel to prevent dislocation of the tendon
• Dissect the plantar portion of the posterior tibial tendon from its
insertion on the navicular, preserving as much length for transfer as
possible
• Deliver this portion of the tendon into the proximal aspect of the
wound, and place a nonabsorbable suture in the free end of the
tendon
27
28. KLING, KAUFER, HENSINGER
• Make a second incision over the lateral side of the ankle 2 cm
proximal to the lateral malleolus, and extend it to the insertion of the
peroneus brevis tendon at the base of the fifth metatarsal
• Open the sheath of the peroneus brevis tendon
• Through the medial incision, create a tunnel posterior to the tibia and
anterior to the neurovascular bundle, directed laterally toward the
fibula
28
29. KLING, KAUFER, HENSINGER
• Pass the free end of the tendon through the tunnel, ensuring that the
transferred tendon is posterior to the tibia and fibula and anterior to
the neurovascular bundle and toe-flexor tendons to prevent
neurovascular and flexor tendon compression during muscle
contraction
• Weave the end of the tendon through the peroneus brevis tendon,
and suture it to the tendon
29
30. KLING, KAUFER, HENSINGER
• Adjust tension on the transferred tendon so that the hindfoot is in
neutral with the ankle in neutral dorsiflexion
• If the Achilles tendon was lengthened with a Z-plasty, repair it at this
time
• Close the wounds in routine fashion, and apply a long-leg cast with
the knee slightly flexed and the foot in neutral
30
32. HOFFER ET AL.
• Three incisions are used for the split anterior tibial tendon transfer
• With the patient supine, make the first incision medially over the
anterior tibial insertion on the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal
32
37. HOFFER ET AL.
• Make a second incision over the anterior aspect of the leg at the
musculotendinous junction, and identify the anterior tibial tendon;
pass the umbilical tape into the second incision (Fig.)
37
39. HOFFER ET AL.
• Identify the lateral half of the tendon, release it from its insertion,
and secure it with a locking stitch (Fig.), preserving as much length as
possible, and then pass it into the second incision as well
39
40. HOFFER ET AL.
• Make the third incision on the foot over the dorsal aspect of the
cuboid
• Pass the lateral half of the tendon subcutaneously into the third
incision, and close the first two incisions (Fig.)
40
42. HOFFER ET AL.
• Drill a hole into the cuboid, preserving a roof of bone
• Pass the lateral slip of tendon through the drill hole, and suture it to
itself with nonabsorbable suture with the ankle in slight dorsiflexion
and hindfoot eversion
• If this is combined with lengthening of the Achilles tendon or
posterior tibial tendon recession, these procedures should be done
before the anterior tibial tendon transfer
• Carefully hold the foot in the corrected position during wound closure
and application of a short-leg cast
42
45. Osteotomy of the Calcaneus
• When the heel becomes fixed in varus, a corrective procedure on the
bone is required, combined with a muscle balancing soft tissue
procedure
• Osteotomy of the calcaneus as advocated by Dwyer corrects the
varus of the heel and, in contrast to a triple arthrodesis, does not
impair mobility in the subtalar or midtarsal joints
45
46. Osteotomy of the Calcaneus
• Good long-term results have been reported after a modified Dwyer
calcaneal osteotomy (Silver et al.)
• A minimum age of 3 years is recommended for this osteotomy
• Triple arthrodesis is recommended in children 9 years old or older
46
47. Osteotomy of the Calcaneus
• Opening wedge osteotomies of the calcaneus are not recommended
• The skin laterally and medially along the bone is only slightly mobile,
and opening wedges put tension on the suture line and tend to cause
incisional skin sloughs
• The medial calcaneal nerves also may be stretched by an opening
wedge osteotomy made from the medial side, causing painful
neuromas
47
48. Osteotomy of the Calcaneus
• For these reasons, a closing wedge resection osteotomy of the
calcaneus is recommended
• For varus deformities, the incision is lateral and the base of the
wedge of bone removed is lateral
48
49. Calcaneal Osteotomy (DWYER)
• Expose the lateral aspect of the foot through a curved incision parallel
and about 1 cm posterior and inferior to the peroneus longus tendon
(Fig.)
49
51. Calcaneal Osteotomy (DWYER)
• Retract the superior wound edge until the tendon sheath of the
peroneus longus is exposed
• Strip the periosteum from the superior, lateral, and inferior surfaces
of the calcaneus posterior to this tendon
51
53. Calcaneal Osteotomy
• Remove a wedge of bone from the calcaneus just inferior and
posterior to the tendon and parallel with it
• Make the base of the wedge 8 to 12 mm wide as needed for
correction of the deformity, and taper the wedge medially to, but not
through, the medial cortex of the calcaneus
53
55. Calcaneal Osteotomy
• Manually break the medial cortex, and close the gap in the bone
• Bring the bony surfaces snugly together by pressing the foot into
dorsiflexion against the pull of the Achilles tendon
55
57. Calcaneal Osteotomy
• Failure to close the gap in the calcaneus indicates that a small piece
of bone has been left behind at the apex of the wedge and should be
removed
• Ensure that the varus deformity has been corrected, and that the heel
is in the neutral or a slightly varus position
• Close the wound, and apply a cast from the toes to the tibial
tuberosity
57
The tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle (sometimes called the posterior tibial tendon) descends posterior to the medial malleolus and terminates by dividing into plantar, main, and recurrent components. The plantar portion inserts into the bases of the second, third and fourth metatarsals, the second and third cuneiforms and the cuboid. The main portion inserts into the tuberosity of the navicular and the plantar surface of the first cuneiform. The recurrent portion inserts into the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus.
Full posterior tibial tendon transfer to the dorsum of the foot has fallen out of favor for these reasons.
