Biomechanical Comparison of Achilles Tendon Pullout Strength Following Midline Tendon-Splitting and Endoscopic Approaches for Calcaneoplasty.

This may allow earlier return to functional rehabilitation following endoscopic calcaneoplasty, but further studies are needed to determine if these differences are clinically significant. Further understanding of the time-zero biomechanics following calcaneoplasty may provide guidance regarding postoperative management with respect to surgical approach.
