Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of tibial transverse transport (TTT) in treatment of chronic ischemic diseases of the lower extremities. METHODS: The related literature was systematically searched and the mechanisms, clinical treatment methods, clinical efficacy, indications, contraindications, and complications of TTT were discussed. RESULTS: Based on the law of tension-stress, TTT is a new method in the treatment of chronic ischemic diseases of the lower extremities. It can relieve the ischemic symptoms, promote the wound healing, and increase the limb salvage rate. The clinical application in recent years has shown good effectiveness, and the scope of application is expanding. CONCLUSION: Due to the current limited clinical application, the sample size of the TTT for the chronic ischemic diseases of the lower extremities is relatively small, and the follow-up time is limited. So its validity, long-term effectiveness, and bone transport standards are need further research.
