Muscle-tendon properties assessed by three-dimensional ultrasound in clinically well-performing clubfoot patients treated with the Ponseti method

The findings of this study indicate that changes in muscle and tendon volume are present in treated clubfoot patients of multiple ages, enhancing understanding of their muscle-tendon morphology. The clinical significance of muscle-tendon alterations and their adaptation to targeted interventions remains to be established. Further research should investigate the relationship between muscle-tendon morphology and clinical status of (relapsed) clubfoot patients.

Abstract

The findings of this study indicate that changes in muscle and tendon volume are present in treated clubfoot patients of multiple ages, enhancing understanding of their muscle-tendon morphology. The clinical significance of muscle-tendon alterations and their adaptation to targeted interventions remains to be established. Further research should investigate the relationship between muscle-tendon morphology and clinical status of (relapsed) clubfoot patients.
