Outpatient percutaneous tendo Achillis lengthening is a quick, complication-free, inexpensive approach to a common pediatric orthopedic problem. The procedure is a known alternative to conventional open procedures, but it is not widely used. This study outlines the advantage of the percutaneous procedure performed in outpatient surgery with the patient under a general anesthetic. Fifty-five patients were operated on between December 1980 and March 1984. Overall results were excellent, with 97% improvement in gait. There were no infections. Percutaneous heel cord lengthening in children is a safe and simple operation, yielding results equal to those of open procedures. The advantage of outpatient surgery adds a further positive dimension to this procedure.
门诊经皮跟腱延长术是解决常见小儿骨科问题的一种快速、无并发症且成本低廉的方法。该手术是传统开放手术的一种已知替代方法，但尚未得到广泛应用。本研究概述了在全身麻醉下对患者进行门诊手术时采用经皮手术的优势。1980年12月至1984年3月期间，对55例患者进行了手术。总体效果极佳，步态改善率达97%。无感染发生。儿童经皮跟腱延长术是一种安全简单的手术，效果与开放手术相当。门诊手术的优势为该手术增添了又一积极因素。
