Tibial nerve mistakenly used as a tendon graft. Reports of three cases

D McGeorge, M Sturzenegger, and U Buchler

Inselspital, Berne, Switzerland.

We describe three patients in whom the tibial nerve was used, in mistake for the plantaris tendon, to repair a ruptured calcaneal tendon. The tendon repair was successful in all cases, but despite attempted reconstruction of the nerve, no patient had any motor recovery although two regained some protective sensation.
