| Context |
Johnson advocated transfer of the EHL tendon to the proximal phalanx as a dynamic stabilizer coupled with an IP joint arthrodesis for flexible hallux varus without MTP arthrosis. This improved flexion of the MTP joint from -23 to +6 degrees, and total range of motion was increased from 38 to 67 degrees. Varus was corrected an average of 18 degrees. Later, modification utilized a split EHL transfer with preservation of the IP joint in the absence of deformity at the IP joint. This resulted in less MTP motion.
