Abstract

A greater degree of Achilles tendon lengthening during surgical correction has been correlated with worse clinical outcomes. MRI and ultrasound techniques have been validated in measurement of Achilles tendon. We sought to develop a reproducible and accurate measurement technique utilizing the manual palpation of anatomic landmarks that will be cost effective and convenient to perform, particularly intraoperatively.
