Relation of the Sural Nerve and Medial Neurovascular Bundle With the Achilles Tendon in Children With Cerebral Palsy Treated by Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Lengthening

Conclusions: The first 4 cm of the AT on the lateral side was detected to be safe for the middle lateral directed cut, while whole tendon length were found to be safe for the first and the third cuts of the percutaneous Achilles lengthening surgery using 3 hemisections in children with cerebral palsy. Level of Evidence: Level III.
