Garceau Technique Requires Less Mechanical Work Than Modified Ponseti for Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer: A Biomechanical Study in Cadavers
For patients with limited muscular strength, the Garceau technique may lower energy demand during gait, supporting its consideration in surgical management of recurrent clubfoot. Comparative clinical gait-analysis studies that quantify postoperative dorsiflexion strength, gait kinetics, and relapse rates after each transfer technique are needed to determine whether this biomechanical advantage translates into improved clinical and functional outcomes.
