This lengthening is indicated in case of retraction
of the Achilles tendon, frequently associated
with flat foot. It helps correcting the valgus
of the calcaneus, and implanting the endorthesis.
Technique: 2-3 incisions
are performed on the lateral border of the tendon,
and 1-2 incision(s) on its medial border.
Always validate the length of the Achilles tendon
when implanting the Kalix® Endorthesis
