Biomechanical Evaluation of Spring Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape or Tendon Graft in a Cadaveric Flatfoot Model
Both techniques may provide a viable approach to restore alignment during flatfoot reconstruction. Both were mechanically stable under cyclic loading in this cadaver model; the tendon graft technique has a theoretical benefit of biological incorporation.
