title: Gastrocnemius soleus recession: a simpler, more limited approach.
abstract: Multiple surgical procedures have been described for the correction of equinus deformity. We present a review of the anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical assessment of equinus. In addition, we provide a detailed surgical technique for gastrocnemius soleus recession and introduce an anatomical guide for surgical treatment.
