Die operative Therapie des Vorfußüberlastungssyndroms als Folge einer Kontraktur des M. gastrocnemius

GR changes the gait cycle with regard to the increased contact time of the heel and alleviates the discomfort of the patients. Obviously, the procedure seems appropriate for patients with FOS, but the limitation of the muscular strength of the plantar flexors must be considered and should be addressed postoperatively with physiotherapy. In performance athletes, the indication for operation should be made critical.
