A prospective analysis was conducted of the amount of correction obtained and number of complications resulting from 31 endoscopic gastrocnemius recessions in 28 patients. The average amount of increase in ankle dorsiflexion was 18°. Few complications were encountered, with mild “soreness” and distal “bruising” being reported by four patients. The only other complaint was “weakness.” The endoscopic gastrocnemius recession is a minimally invasive technique with a low rate of complications that offers a comparable amount of correction to that of traditional open procedures in the treatment of gastrocnemius equinus.
