Sponsor's own description

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 retrospective, matched-pair cohort study, utilizing data from clinical records, 3D gait analysis (3DGA), and structured telephone interviews.
