MARTINEZ ALVAREZ, Alejandro; MONTOYA CARDERO, Luis Enrique  y  LEON PINEIRO, Mileidys. Tendon transfer of the posterior tibial in fallen foot due to lesion of the common peroneal nerve. MEDISAN [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.2, pp. 355-363.  Epub 28-Mar-2022. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a 34 years patient with health history is described. He was assisted in the intermunicipal visit of II Frente, province of Santiago de Cuba, due to a lesion in the common peroneal nerve during 8 months, in the lateral face of the superior third of the right leg, because of a pig bite, which was not diagnosed initially, but instead it was treated as a wound without neurological lesion. A surgical procedure was carried out, with a tendon transposition of the posterior tibial muscle. The foot was immobilized with a plaster splint for 15 days, the suture was removed 6 weeks later and rehabilitation was indicated. Twelve weeks later he began to walk without difficulty and he was able to return to his daily activities.

Palabras clave : fallen foot; traumatic lesion; common peroneal nerve; tendon transfer; surgical treatment.
