1995 Preserving Plantar Flexion Strength After Surgical Treatment for Contracture of the Triceps Surae
Location: http://www.musculographics.com/pdf/1995_plantar.pdf
Summary: Contractures of the triceps surae commonly are treated by surgical lengthening
of the gastrocnemius aponeurosis or the Achilles tendon. Although these procedures
