- Brief Summary
umber of target patients was 30 and 27 patients were recruited.Seven patients (14 legs) with aged 6–10 years, spastic diplegia, independent walker, and more than 2 years of follow-up gait analysis were included. The control group consisted of 7 patients who had undergone open transverse Vulpius surgery, spastic diplegic independent walkers between 6 and 10 years and more than 2 years of follow-up gait analysis. The average age of patients in the endoscopic group was 7 years 4 months. Overall, 3 boys and 4 girls were included. In addition, 6 boys and 1 girl were included in the open group, and the mean age was 8 years. The average length of the scar was significantly smaller in the endoscopic group, but there was no significant difference in modified SBSES scores. In the gait analysis, GDI, and GPS were improved in both groups, simil. Ankle dorsiflexion angle was improved in both groups. There were no differences between groups in the improvement of passive ankle dorsiflexion, GDI and GPS. Only the postoperative peak ankle dorsiflexion during stance phase was higher in the open group.
