The Ponseti method for treating congenital clubfoot requires Achilles tenotomy to be performed toward the end of serial casting. However, it remains unclear if Achilles tenotomy has a negative effect on clubfoot-associated calf-muscle atrophy. We therefore investigated this issue by ultrasonographic examination.
