UNASSIGNED: Tibialis anterior tendon @entity397 causes substantial morbidity. The present study describes the outcomes of augmented, half-thickness @entity1347 , a novel reconstruction technique. This was an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of 3 @entity1 with surgically treated attritional distal @entity397 with 1-year follow-up. The postdebridement tendon defect prohibited primary repair and was managed by distal transposition of a half-thickness healthy segment. This repair was augmented with @entity1 acellular dermal matrix allograft (Graftjacket, Wright Medical Technology, Memphis, @entity7443 ). The mean age was 68 years (range, 59-73 years). Mean interval between injury and surgery was 59.3 days (range, 15-146 days). All @entity1 regained symmetrical range of motion, motor power, and the ability to heel walk. Mean @entity158 scores improved from 4.6 (range, 2.5-8.5) preoperatively to 0.7 (range, 0-2) postoperatively. Mean Foot and Ankle Ability Measure scores increased from 30.6 (range, 23.8-43.8) preoperatively to 78.7 (range, 72.6-97.6) postoperatively. No @entity260 occurred. One @entity1 was satisfied and 2 were very satisfied with their outcome. Although limited, the present findings appear to indicate that this technique produces short-term clinical results comparable to those described for other techniques for tibialis anterior tendon reconstruction. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, Level IV.
