Small muscle, big impact? study tests new order for ankle surgery in kids
NCT ID NCT07090057
Summary
This study aims to improve surgery for children with tight ankle muscles that limit their ability to walk properly. Researchers are testing if cutting a small, often-overlooked leg muscle (the plantaris) first, before the larger calf muscles, leads to better ankle movement and a faster recovery. The study involves 42 children with conditions like cerebral palsy or idiopathic toe walking who are already scheduled for this type of ankle surgery.
