Post-polio syndrome with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction may present a flexible clubfoot and steppage gait in some patients. We describe the case of a patient who only preserved flexor hallucis longus tendon function; therefore, we decided to transfer it to the midfoot to obtain a plantigrade foot and restore dorsiflexion.

Keywords : Flexor hallucis longus; post-polio syndrome; tendon transfer.
