The anatomical relationship between the morphometry of the TAM’s tendon (TAT), medial malleolus (MM), and tibialis posterior muscle tendon (TPT) has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to examine the morphometric features of TAT, TPT, and MM and their relationships with sex and sides. Methods Dissections were performed on the dorsal and medial surfaces of 25 (15 males, 10 females) fixed lower extremities. The study has been approved by the Board of Ethics of Mersin University (Approval number: 2023/500). Bony structures were exposed together with the tendons and extensions of the TAM. MM height and width, inter-tendon distances, and tendon angles were measured. Additionally, the width, length, thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) of TATs and TPTs were recorded. Results It was found that TAT could have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 slips in different combinations. The width of TAT (TATw) and the inter-tendon distances along the MM were found to be significantly greater in males than in females. TATw and MM widths were greater on the left feet compared to the right. A moderate negative correlation was also observed between TAT thicknesses and MM angulation. Strong positive correlations were found between the distances between TAT and TPTs at different levels of MM. Conclusion Understanding the morphometric features of TAT and its relationship with MM may optimize tendon transfer techniques for foot drop treatment. These findings contribute to improving surgical accuracy, anchorage placement, and graft sizing in reconstructive procedures. Health sciences/Medical research Health sciences/Anatomy Health sciences/Anatomy/Musculoskeletal system Tibialis anterior muscle tendon tibialis posterior tendon transfer morphometry medial malleolus foot drop tendon rupture Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Introduction The tibialis anterior muscle (TAM) is a powerful muscle located in the most medial part of the anterior compartment of the leg. It performs dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot [ 37 ]. It is the antagonist and synergist of tibialis posterior muscle. It helps to stabilize the ankle during walking (during the contact phase, i.e., eccentric contraction) and lifts the foot off the ground during the swing phase, i.e., concentric contraction. Additionally, it helps lock the ankle during isometric contraction, especially during sports [ 18 ]. Tendon rupture of anterior tibial (TAT) usually late diagnosed due to mild clinical signs and symptoms [ 43 ]. Although, it is a rare condition, it is the third most common tendon rupture in the lower extremity after the Achilles tendon and patellar tendon [ 2 , 5 , 10 ]. TAT rupture can be acute or chronic, resulting from different traumas including sharp shear injuries, blunt trauma, or hyperflexion trauma. Spontaneous ruptures are rare and are usually known to be the result of a long history of chronic degenerative tendon disease. Risk factors include systemic lupus erythematosus, hypoparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and gout [ 17 ]. Paralysis or weakness of TAM, primary dorsiflexor of the ankle, results in a stepping gait characterized by a plantarflexed position of the ankle (foot drop) during the swing phase of walking and initial ground contact [ 21 , 39 ]. This condition is known to be most caused by peroneal nerve injury. Initial treatment for foot drop includes using an ankle foot orthosis, muscle strengthening, and tendon Achilles stretching. If no improvement occurs for more than a year, tendon transfer is usually required to achieve a balanced foot that is plantigrade and functional. Transfer of the tibialis posterior muscle (TPM) tendon (TPT) to the dorsum of the foot is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the treatment of foot drop [ 42 ]. Surgical reconstructions of TAM, such as tendon transfer (posterior tibial tendon transfer, extensor hallucis longus transfer, etc.), muscle repair or allotransplantation are the preferred treatment methods, especially in cases where dorsal extension and supination of the foot are severely impaired [ 14 , 25 , 44 , 46 ]. It has been reported that repositioning TAM to its anatomical attachment site is important to restore the natural lever arm of TAM [ 2 ] and morphometric features of ligament and tendon connections may help optimize reconstruction procedures in terms of anchorage placement and graft sizing (Holt et al. 2015). Some studies have reported that the anatomical details regarding the relationship between TAT and TPT in foot drop surgery and the tendon transfer process are insufficient [ 8 , 32 ]. There is no morphometric data in the literature on the extent to which the morphometric features of the medial malleolus and TA and TP are related. In this cadaver study, it was aimed to evaluate the morphometric features of TAT along with its insertional features and its relationship with the medial malleolus through the TPT transfer relationship. Material and Methods The study was performed on 25 feet fixed with 10% formalin (15 men, 10 women) from the inventory of the Anatomy Department of Medical Faculty at Mersin University. The study was approved by the Mersin University Clinical Research Ethics Committee (Approval numbers: 2023/500). Human cadavers (obtained through a body donation program) used in this study are legally registered in the educational and research gross anatomical archive of the Anatomy Department of Mersin University, Faculty of Medicine. This study accordance with recognized standards of Helsinki Declaration. First, dissections were performed on the dorsal and medial parts of the foot. The tendon of the TAM passing in front of the medial malleolus was identified and the fascia and retinaculum on it were not completely removed to not disrupt its anatomical course. The tendon of the TPM passing behind the MM was identified and followed till it’s separation into slips is seen. In terms of integrity, the plantar part of the foot was preserved. Dissection protocol In anatomical position, dissection lines were determined by marking lines in the medial parts of the ankle, dorsum of the foot and sole. A transverse incision was made 3-4 cm above the MM in the distal medial part of the leg and then dissection of the skin and superficial fascia was initiated. After this stage, dissection on the dorsal and medial side continued with the removal of the dorsal fascia of the foot (DFF) and extensor retinaculum (ER). By carefully removing the dorsal and posterior parts of the DFF and ER, the TAT and TPT extending at the dorsum of the foot were exposed. Then, the remaining part of the ER and the superficial and deep parts of the medial sole were dissected and the abductor hallucis muscle (AHM), medial cuneiform bone (MC), first metatarsal bone (I.MT), and navicular bone (NV) were exposed. All dissections were performed by the same researcher (T.K). A digital caliper (0.01 mm precision) was used to measure the parameters. Under the same environmental conditions, at different times, all measurements were repeated in triplicates independently by two investigators (T.K. and A.B.Ö). Upon that, the following parameters were measured (Fig. 1). Foot length Width (w), length (l), thickness (t), and cross-sectional area (CSA) of TAT and TPT. Width (w) and length (l) of slips of MC (MCT) and I.MT (IMTT). Height (h) and width (w) of MM. Distance between TAT-TPT on superior (TA-TPsup), middle (TA-TPmid) and inferior (TA-TPinf) level of MM. Angles of TAT (TATang) and TPT (TPTang). Count of slips of TAT. Attachments status of TAT. Statistical Analyses Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for the examination of interobserver agreement and expressed with 95% confidence intervals. Normality control of continuous variables was assessed with Shapiro Wilk test. Parametric methods were used in the analysis of variables that showed normal distribution, and nonparametric methods were used in the analysis of those that did not. Student’s t test and Mann Whitney U test were used in the comparison of two independent groups. Pearson and Spearman Rho correlation coefficients were used in the examination of the linear relationship between two continuous variables. Data analyses were performed with Statistica v.13.3.1 program. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05 in all analyses. Results General Findings In all variables, a statistically significant and high level of agreement was found between the researchers (T.K. and A.B.Ö) who performed the measurement (p < 0.001). The high level of these agreement coefficients indicates that the measurements used are reliable. Data regarding sex and side distribution of the feet included in the study are shown in Table 1 . No significant difference was found in age distribution between genders and sides (p = 0.186, p = 0.730). The average foot lengths were recorded as 24.88 ± 1.61 cm in males and 22.06 ± 1.15 cm in females. It was determined that men had statistically longer foot lengths (p < 0.001).

TAT Classification According to the Slip Count and Bone Attachment Status It was determined that TAT attached to MC, I.MT and first tarsometatarsal joint capsule (first TMTJ) in different combinations (Table 4 ). It was recorded that TAT could be in minimum 1 and maximum 3 slips. Typing process was done according to slip number first and subtypes were coded according to the variations of attachment (Table 4 ). 4 main types were created according to slip number as Type I, II and III. Table 4 Classification of TPTs according to their slips and attachment sites. Types Subtypes Attachment Sites & Configurations N (%) Total n (%) Type I Type I.A MC 2 (%8) 3 (%12) Type I.B I.MT 1 (%4) Type II Type II.A I.MT = MC 8 (%32) 14 (%56) Type II.B I.MT < MC 6 (%24) Type III - MC, IMT, and first TMTJ 8 (%32) 8 (%32) Type I: Attachment to MC was recorded as Type I.A (Fig. 1 & 2 A). Attachment to I.MT was recorded as Type I.B (Fig. 1 & 2 B) Type II: In case of 2 slips, there was attachment to MC and I.MT. If the tendons attached to MC and I.MT were of equal thickness, it was coded as Type II.A (Fig. 1 & 3 A), if the one attached to I.MT was thicker, it was coded as Type II.B (Fig. 1 & 3 B). Type III: In case of 3 slips, there was attachment to MC, I.MT and first tarsometatarsal joint capsule. If there was attachment to MC, I.MT and first tarsometatarsal joint capsule, it was coded as Type III.A (Fig. 1 & 4 ). Discussion Among a lot of studies on TAM and TAT, there was not enough data about its relation with MM and TPM. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the precise insertion site of the TAT and its morphometric relation with MM and TPT. According to our findings, the most common TAT attachment pattern is the attachment of equal-sized bands to the base of the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones. Additionally, we found that the morphometry of the TAT was associated with MM and its relationship with the TPT tendon was also affected by MM. The most important asset in the TAT classification is the identification of anatomical variational attachment sites by dissection study and the simplification of the classification. The resulting classification provides a list of TAT types that are not only visually different but also show significant differences in their relationship with the bones and tendons located in the region such as MM and TPT and their morphological characteristics. Since 1963, different types of insertions have been described in literature and classifications have been performed in different combinations [ 2 – 4 , 13 , 20 , 23 , 24 , 44 , 46 ]. The first classification of TAT attachment sites was introduced by Musiał [ 22 ], and 4 main types were defined. Type 1 was coded as the attachment of the tendon to the MC and I.MT by two equal-sized bands and presented this type as the second most frequently observed type. Type 2 was reported For the most common type, that has two-slip; a thick one to MC, while a thinner attached to I.MT. In other types, they classified by taking the opposite thickness into account. In the following years, in 1990, Arthornhurasook and Im [ 3 ] made a classification in agreement with Musiał's classification and reported three additional subclasses. Brenner [ 4 ] defined five different attachment site variations and in the following years, Willegger et al. (2017) proposed a new revision of the classification introduced by Musiał [ 20 ]. In recent years, the last update was by Olewnik et al. [ 23 ], who systematized the classification and updated it based on 5 main types. When Olewnik et al.’s [ 23 ] classification is examined, it is obvious as being the current systematized version of the old literature. However, in that study, each attachment type was coded as a separate type, so that the number of types increased to 5. In our study, we classified by using criteria that we can include all literature and newly observed variations in the typing. First, main types were created by considering each band (slip) separated from the main tendon. For this, the first criterion was taken as the number of bands. Subtype definition was used for the subsequent observed attachment situations or combinations. In the subtype definition, the criteria were the bone structures which the slips are attached and the tendon thickness. In the current study, the most frequently observed type was the one having two bands (slips) (56%) and the subtype was the attachment with equal expansion to MC and I.MT (32%). Such a systematization is thought to be useful to improve the planning of surgical procedures and rehabilitation programs. Murley et al. [ 19 ] reported that the thickness of TAT was 2.6 − 0.4 mm and the thickness of TPT was 3-0.6 mm in 61 patients with ultrasound imaging. The thickness of TAT and TPT in our study (mean 2.25 ± 0.4 mm, 2.33 ± 0.45 mm, respectively) were consistent with Murley's study. Jarusriwanna and Chuckpaiwon [ 12 ] reported that the TAT attachments were found to be longer on the MC than on the base of the I.MT (means 8.3 and 5.4 mm), but the widths were nearly similar (means 11.0 and 10.4 mm). Additionally, tendon attachments on the medial and plantar surfaces of the MC were equivalent in width (means 5.4 and 5.6 mm). Our study’s results in terms of width were consistent with the literature (means were 5.48 mm, 7.80 mm, 5.40 mm, and 5.96 mm, respectively). In literature, it is reported that the average TPTw is between 8.00-11.60 mm and in TPTt it is between 3.78–3.96 mm [ 1 , 6 , 23 , 39 ]. It is thought that these wide frequency differences are due to the variety of study samples (patients, fixed cadavers, fresh cadavers etc.), method differences (MR, ultrasonography, manual caliper etc.) and demographic differences. Considering all these, it is thought that data of the TPT morphometry obtained in our study (average 8.89 mm for TPTw, average 2.54 mm for TPTt) are in the range reported in literature and are compatible. Considering tendon morphometries, the importance of TAT transfer (TATT) procedure in the treatment of relapsed clubfoot is remarkable [ 7 , 9 , 15 ]. Idiopathic clubfoot deformity continues to be a common pediatric orthopedic problem with an incidence of 1/1000 live births [ 11 ]. In general, successful results can be obtained with serial manipulations and casting, but, regardless of the initial treatment results and the correction obtained, relapse can be seen up to 50% of clubfoot treatment [ 7 ] (Farsetti et al. 2006). It is reported that relapse is the result of the same pathology that caused the primary deformity and is usually related to non-compliance with the Ponseti brace protocol [ 9 , 28 ]. However, in cases where correction is unsuccessful, operative treatment may be required for deformities [ 28 ] (Ponseti and Smoley, 2009). The TATT procedure is the most important surgical treatment method. First of all, the first criterion is to provide muscle balance after tendon transfer and correct dynamic supination gait [ 16 ]. As a result of the transfer of TAT to the lateral cuneiform, the cuneiforms and cuboid are shifted more laterally than normal, which contributes to the correction and stabilization of relapse clubfoot [ 9 ]. Presented anatomic information in our study regarding attachment sites and slip status could help diagnose TAT rupture and the anatomical reconstruction of the TAT. TPT transfer is frequently applied to treat various foot deformities related to poor ankle dorsiflexion and to restore normal heel-toe gait. It has been reported that after TPT is transferred to the anterior and dorsal regions of the ankle, dorsiflexion is restored and deforming forces in the medial region of the foot are eliminated [ 27 , 34 ]. Although an interosseous route is recommended due to conditions such as direct traction, high dorsiflexion power and low varus recurrence probability compared to alternative methods [ 22 , 35 , 38 ], it is reported that subcutaneous TPT transfer methods are preferred for patients with calcified and inelastic interosseous membranes [ 31 , 36 ]. It is noteworthy that studies in the literature have not yet revealed the optimum TPT placement site and there is no consensus on a standard method. For example, it has been suggested that the TPT placement sites on the dorsum of the foot may differ depending on unequal force between the medial and lateral sides, but the intermediate cuneiform may be the optimum location [ 33 , 40 ]. It is recommended that the TPT transfer can be performed at the midline of the foot, the intermediate cuneiform, or the lateral cuneiform, while some other researchers [ 26 , 30 ] suggest transferring TPT additional to the other dorsal region tendons (extensor halluces longus, extensor digitorum, and peroneus tertius). When comparing tendon-to-bone (TtoB) and tendon-to-tendon (TtoT) techniques, there may be insufficient TPT length, especially for the TtoB procedure. In terms of methodological difficulty, it has been determined that the TtoT suture may be more challenging surgically and the reconstruction may be more complicated [ 41 ]. In particular, it has been suggested that the angle between the TPT and the attached tendons impairs the tensile strength of the TPT and reduces the dorsiflexion strength [ 41 ]. Ryssman and Myerson [ 34 ] stated that the transferred tendon should be fixed with a TtoB interface whenever possible, and that this procedure is physiologically more effective than other methods. The main disadvantage of the TtoB procedure is the insufficient length, as described in previous studies [ 8 , 35 ]. However, some researchers have suggested that this disadvantage can be avoided by using the midpoints of the intermediate cuneiform, the lateral cuneiform, and the cuboid as the transferred insertion sites. In addition, it has been suggested that these sites can potentially be applied in surgeries [ 45 ]. In our study, important anatomical information regarding the morphometry and insertion sites of the TPT and TAT tendons has been provided. First, we believe that MM morphometry is one of the most important factors underlying the cases where the TPT tendon length is insufficient, as mentioned in the literature. The MMh and MMw values cause the differences in the course of TAT and TPT reaching the dorsum and plantar parts of the foot and the formation of morphometric distances between each other. Considering this aspect, we agree with the opinion of Xu et al. [ 45 ] that the intermembranous transfer technique prevents the TPT length from being a disadvantage. As additional support to this opinion, we believe that MM morphometry is the underlying anatomical landmark. Conclusion TAT placement presents high morphological variability that can be observed in cadavers. Our new classification simplifies this anatomical diversity and systematizes it through criteria. We believe that the morphometric data we obtained will contribute to the awareness of TAT variations and attachment sites in surgical procedures planned in the region and will provide a basis for further biomechanical and clinical studies targeting to improve the rehabilitation of patients, especially after TAT injuries. Considering the complications of osteotomies in the treatment of metatarsus adductus deformity for recurrent clubfoot, we hope that TAT transfer may be a safe way and that surgeons would reconsider the necessity of osteotomy.

It performs dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e]. It is the antagonist and synergist of tibialis posterior muscle. It helps to stabilize the ankle during walking (during the contact phase, i.e., eccentric contraction) and lifts the foot off the ground during the swing phase, i.e., concentric contraction. Additionally, it helps lock the ankle during isometric contraction, especially during sports [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTendon rupture of anterior tibial (TAT) usually late diagnosed due to mild clinical signs and symptoms [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e]. Although, it is a rare condition, it is the third most common tendon rupture in the lower extremity after the Achilles tendon and patellar tendon [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. TAT rupture can be acute or chronic, resulting from different traumas including sharp shear injuries, blunt trauma, or hyperflexion trauma. Spontaneous ruptures are rare and are usually known to be the result of a long history of chronic degenerative tendon disease. Risk factors include systemic lupus erythematosus, hypoparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and gout [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParalysis or weakness of TAM, primary dorsiflexor of the ankle, results in a stepping gait characterized by a plantarflexed position of the ankle (foot drop) during the swing phase of walking and initial ground contact [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e]. This condition is known to be most caused by peroneal nerve injury. Initial treatment for foot drop includes using an ankle foot orthosis, muscle strengthening, and tendon Achilles stretching. If no improvement occurs for more than a year, tendon transfer is usually required to achieve a balanced foot that is plantigrade and functional. Transfer of the tibialis posterior muscle (TPM) tendon (TPT) to the dorsum of the foot is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the treatment of foot drop [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurgical reconstructions of TAM, such as tendon transfer (posterior tibial tendon transfer, extensor hallucis longus transfer, etc.), muscle repair or allotransplantation are the preferred treatment methods, especially in cases where dorsal extension and supination of the foot are severely impaired [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e46\u003c/span\u003e]. It has been reported that repositioning TAM to its anatomical attachment site is important to restore the natural lever arm of TAM [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e] and morphometric features of ligament and tendon connections may help optimize reconstruction procedures in terms of anchorage placement and graft sizing (Holt et al. 2015). Some studies have reported that the anatomical details regarding the relationship between TAT and TPT in foot drop surgery and the tendon transfer process are insufficient [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e]. There is no morphometric data in the literature on the extent to which the morphometric features of the medial malleolus and TA and TP are related.

Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the precise insertion site of the TAT and its morphometric relation with MM and TPT. According to our findings, the most common TAT attachment pattern is the attachment of equal-sized bands to the base of the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones. Additionally, we found that the morphometry of the TAT was associated with MM and its relationship with the TPT tendon was also affected by MM.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe most important asset in the TAT classification is the identification of anatomical variational attachment sites by dissection study and the simplification of the classification. The resulting classification provides a list of TAT types that are not only visually different but also show significant differences in their relationship with the bones and tendons located in the region such as MM and TPT and their morphological characteristics. Since 1963, different types of insertions have been described in literature and classifications have been performed in different combinations [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR3\" citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e46\u003c/span\u003e]. The first classification of TAT attachment sites was introduced by Musiał [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e], and 4 main types were defined. Type 1 was coded as the attachment of the tendon to the MC and I.MT by two equal-sized bands and presented this type as the second most frequently observed type. Type 2 was reported For the most common type, that has two-slip; a thick one to MC, while a thinner attached to I.MT. In other types, they classified by taking the opposite thickness into account. In the following years, in 1990, Arthornhurasook and Im [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e] made a classification in agreement with Musiał's classification and reported three additional subclasses. Brenner [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e] defined five different attachment site variations and in the following years, Willegger et al. (2017) proposed a new revision of the classification introduced by Musiał [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]. In recent years, the last update was by Olewnik et al. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e], who systematized the classification and updated it based on 5 main types. When Olewnik et al.\u0026rsquo;s [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e] classification is examined, it is obvious as being the current systematized version of the old literature. However, in that study, each attachment type was coded as a separate type, so that the number of types increased to 5. In our study, we classified by using criteria that we can include all literature and newly observed variations in the typing. First, main types were created by considering each band (slip) separated from the main tendon. For this, the first criterion was taken as the number of bands. Subtype definition was used for the subsequent observed attachment situations or combinations. In the subtype definition, the criteria were the bone structures which the slips are attached and the tendon thickness. In the current study, the most frequently observed type was the one having two bands (slips) (56%) and the subtype was the attachment with equal expansion to MC and I.MT (32%). Such a systematization is thought to be useful to improve the planning of surgical procedures and rehabilitation programs.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMurley et al.

Jarusriwanna and Chuckpaiwon [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e] reported that the TAT attachments were found to be longer on the MC than on the base of the I.MT (means 8.3 and 5.4 mm), but the widths were nearly similar (means 11.0 and 10.4 mm). Additionally, tendon attachments on the medial and plantar surfaces of the MC were equivalent in width (means 5.4 and 5.6 mm). Our study\u0026rsquo;s results in terms of width were consistent with the literature (means were 5.48 mm, 7.80 mm, 5.40 mm, and 5.96 mm, respectively). In literature, it is reported that the average TPTw is between 8.00-11.60 mm and in TPTt it is between 3.78\u0026ndash;3.96 mm [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e23\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e]. It is thought that these wide frequency differences are due to the variety of study samples (patients, fixed cadavers, fresh cadavers etc.), method differences (MR, ultrasonography, manual caliper etc.) and demographic differences. Considering all these, it is thought that data of the TPT morphometry obtained in our study (average 8.89 mm for TPTw, average 2.54 mm for TPTt) are in the range reported in literature and are compatible.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConsidering tendon morphometries, the importance of TAT transfer (TATT) procedure in the treatment of relapsed clubfoot is remarkable [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e]. Idiopathic clubfoot deformity continues to be a common pediatric orthopedic problem with an incidence of 1/1000 live births [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e]. In general, successful results can be obtained with serial manipulations and casting, but, regardless of the initial treatment results and the correction obtained, relapse can be seen up to 50% of clubfoot treatment [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e] (Farsetti et al. 2006). It is reported that relapse is the result of the same pathology that caused the primary deformity and is usually related to non-compliance with the Ponseti brace protocol [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e]. However, in cases where correction is unsuccessful, operative treatment may be required for deformities [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e] (Ponseti and Smoley, 2009). The TATT procedure is the most important surgical treatment method. First of all, the first criterion is to provide muscle balance after tendon transfer and correct dynamic supination gait [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e]. As a result of the transfer of TAT to the lateral cuneiform, the cuneiforms and cuboid are shifted more laterally than normal, which contributes to the correction and stabilization of relapse clubfoot [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]. Presented anatomic information in our study regarding attachment sites and slip status could help diagnose TAT rupture and the anatomical reconstruction of the TAT.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTPT transfer is frequently applied to treat various foot deformities related to poor ankle dorsiflexion and to restore normal heel-toe gait. It has been reported that after TPT is transferred to the anterior and dorsal regions of the ankle, dorsiflexion is restored and deforming forces in the medial region of the foot are eliminated [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]. Although an interosseous route is recommended due to conditions such as direct traction, high dorsiflexion power and low varus recurrence probability compared to alternative methods [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e], it is reported that subcutaneous TPT transfer methods are preferred for patients with calcified and inelastic interosseous membranes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e]. It is noteworthy that studies in the literature have not yet revealed the optimum TPT placement site and there is no consensus on a standard method. For example, it has been suggested that the TPT placement sites on the dorsum of the foot may differ depending on unequal force between the medial and lateral sides, but the intermediate cuneiform may be the optimum location [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e40\u003c/span\u003e]. It is recommended that the TPT transfer can be performed at the midline of the foot, the intermediate cuneiform, or the lateral cuneiform, while some other researchers [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e] suggest transferring TPT additional to the other dorsal region tendons (extensor halluces longus, extensor digitorum, and peroneus tertius). When comparing tendon-to-bone (TtoB) and tendon-to-tendon (TtoT) techniques, there may be insufficient TPT length, especially for the TtoB procedure. In terms of methodological difficulty, it has been determined that the TtoT suture may be more challenging surgically and the reconstruction may be more complicated [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e]. In particular, it has been suggested that the angle between the TPT and the attached tendons impairs the tensile strength of the TPT and reduces the dorsiflexion strength [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e]. Ryssman and Myerson [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e] stated that the transferred tendon should be fixed with a TtoB interface whenever possible, and that this procedure is physiologically more effective than other methods. The main disadvantage of the TtoB procedure is the insufficient length, as described in previous studies [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e]. However, some researchers have suggested that this disadvantage can be avoided by using the midpoints of the intermediate cuneiform, the lateral cuneiform, and the cuboid as the transferred insertion sites. In addition, it has been suggested that these sites can potentially be applied in surgeries [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e45\u003c/span\u003e]. In our study, important anatomical information regarding the morphometry and insertion sites of the TPT and TAT tendons has been provided. First, we believe that MM morphometry is one of the most important factors underlying the cases where the TPT tendon length is insufficient, as mentioned in the literature. The MMh and MMw values cause the differences in the course of TAT and TPT reaching the dorsum and plantar parts of the foot and the formation of morphometric distances between each other. Considering this aspect, we agree with the opinion of Xu et al. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e45\u003c/span\u003e] that the intermembranous transfer technique prevents the TPT length from being a disadvantage. As additional support to this opinion, we believe that MM morphometry is the underlying anatomical landmark.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eTAT placement presents high morphological variability that can be observed in cadavers.

Considering the complications of osteotomies in the treatment of metatarsus adductus deformity for recurrent clubfoot, we hope that TAT transfer may be a safe way and that surgeons would reconsider the necessity of osteotomy.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthics approval and consent to participate\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study has been approved by the Board of Ethics of Mersin University (Approval number: 2023/500).

The anatomical relationship between the morphometry of the TAM\u0026rsquo;s tendon (TAT), medial malleolus (MM), and tibialis posterior muscle tendon (TPT) has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to examine the morphometric features of TAT, TPT, and MM and their relationships with sex and sides.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eDissections were performed on the dorsal and medial surfaces of 25 (15 males, 10 females) fixed lower extremities. The study has been approved by the Board of Ethics of Mersin University (Approval number: 2023/500). Bony structures were exposed together with the tendons and extensions of the TAM. MM height and width, inter-tendon distances, and tendon angles were measured. Additionally, the width, length, thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) of TATs and TPTs were recorded.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was found that TAT could have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 slips in different combinations. The width of TAT (TATw) and the inter-tendon distances along the MM were found to be significantly greater in males than in females. TATw and MM widths were greater on the left feet compared to the right. A moderate negative correlation was also observed between TAT thicknesses and MM angulation. Strong positive correlations were found between the distances between TAT and TPTs at different levels of MM.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusion\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding the morphometric features of TAT and its relationship with MM may optimize tendon transfer techniques for foot drop treatment. These findings contribute to improving surgical accuracy, anchorage placement, and graft sizing in reconstructive procedures.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Morphometric evaluation of the tibialis anterior muscle tendon","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-06-13 16:51:27","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6347099/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
