The cincinnati incision for the split posterior tibial tendon transfer: a


technical note. J-Pediatr-Orthop. 1990 Sep-Oct. 10(5). P 667-9. The split posterior tendon transfer has been effective in correcting equinovarus deformity in children with cerebral palsy. The original report of this procedure described a four incision approach. We have modified the technique by substituting the single transverse, Cincinnati incision, which permits better visual and physical access to the operative field and has no major disadvantages. Author-abstract.
