Abstract

Foot drop is a common problem faced in daily orthopaedic practice. It is mostly due to overpowering of dorsiflexors of the foot by the plantar flexors, but sometimes it may be due to global paralysis of the muscles around the foot. Posterior tibial transfer to the dorsum of the foot is routinely performed procedure for the treatment of foot drop and different techniques have been recommended to achieve desired function and balance. In this short article we revisit the role of “Bridle Procedure†in foot drop, its advantages and technique used to perform this procedure.
