  • Title: Equinus deformity in cerebral palsy: a retrospective analysis of treatment and function in 39 cases.
    Author: Grant AD, Feldman R, Lehman WB.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1985; 5(6):678-81. PubMed ID: 4066941.
    Abstract:
    Equinus deformity, due to a contracture of the triceps surae, is a frequent problem in cerebral palsy. The authors present a retrospective analysis of the functional status of 27 patients (39 feet) of equinus deformity seen in a 10-year follow-up study. When either a Hoke or White tendo Achillis surgical lengthening procedure was combined with a postoperative management program of night-bracing, the recurrence of equinus deformity was significantly reduced.
