Summary
This study looks at a small leg muscle called the plantaris and its role in treating tight ankles (ankle equinus) in children aged 4-17. About 42 kids having surgery for this condition will have the plantaris and larger calf muscles lengthened in a random order. The goal is to see how much the plantaris contributes to ankle movement, which could help doctors improve treatment and reduce long-term foot problems.
