PROCEDURE

Proximal Medial Gastrocnemius Recession

. A 3-4 cm transverse skin incision is made in the popliteal fossa, the superficial fascia is opened, and the medial gastrocnemius with its tendon (aponeurosis) is located. The tendon is then cut while lifting it with clamps, and care is taken to cut only the white tendon while sparing the underlying muscle. While performing a dorsiflexion movement of the ankle, careful palpation of the muscle is done to ensure that all tendon strands are cut completely. The incision is closed in layers, and only soft dressings applied
