Official Title: Percutaneous Needle Technique is Comparable to Open Z-plasty Surgery for Unilateral Tendon Achilles Lengthening in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Brief Summary:
This study aims to compare the outcomes of two surgical techniques for Achilles tendon lengthening in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP): the percutaneous needle technique and the traditional open Z-lengthening technique.The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques in improving ankle dorsiflexion and gait function one year postoperatively.Secondary objectives include assessing postoperative complications, re-rupture rates, and patient satisfaction.The study is designed as a…
