This is a triple hemi-section of an Achilles tendon for an equinus surgery. I typically perform this procedure while elevating the leg prior to tourniquet inflation. This is usually performed with other procedures. Normally, I do not suture this incision. One must be careful not to over lengthen the tendon. This procedure lengthens both components of the Achilles tendon.
