For a foot drop resulting from peroneal nerve palsy transferring the tibialis posterior tendon is a standard surgical treatment. The situation of foot drop with no functioning tibialis posterior presents a challenge. We describe a case of successful flexor hallucis longus transfer in such a case.

Keywords: foot drop, flexor hallucis longus, peroneal nerve palsy; tendon transfer
