Abstract

This paper aims to review the various surgical techniques for gastrocnemius–soleus recession and Achilles tendon lengthening, with a special focus on the treatment of clubfoot and cerebral palsy (CP) equinus contracture. This descriptive review article comprehensively explores different techniques for gastrocnemius recession, including the Hoke percutaneous triple hemisection, Baker’s method (Tongue-in-Groove Gastrocnemius–Soleus Recession), the Vulpius method, the Baumann procedure, and the Strayer procedure (Gastrocnemius Recession). The objective is to present a detailed analysis of these methods, covering their indications, procedural nuances, relevance in clinical practice, and outcomes.
