Abstract

Tibialis anterior tendon shortening combined with tendon Achilles lengthening showed satisfactory short- and long-term outcomes for pes equinus treatment. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a single tibialis anterior tendon shortening-tendon Achilles lengthening procedure for treating pes equinus, in a homogeneous unilateral cerebral palsy patient group.
