Lateral Tibiocalcaneal Angle As a Determinant for Percutaneous Achilles Tenotomy for Idiopathic Clubfeet
Conclusions:
The LTiC angle measured on simple radiographs is a more objective and prognostic indicator of the need for percutaneous Achilles tenotomy, as compared with the ADF angle measured on physical examination, in patients with idiopathic clubfoot.
Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
