Ultrasonographic findings after Achilles tenotomy during Ponseti treatment for clubfeet: Is ultrasound a reliable tool to assess tendon healing?

Abstract

We do not think that routine ultrasound studies are of any value as an adjunct to clinical assessment intra- and post-operatively. It can give misleading information regarding the need to complete the tenotomy, which may increase risks associated with a further pass of the scalpel blade.
