Calf muscle reduction, also known as gastrocnemius recession or equinus foot correction, is a surgical procedure that aims to lengthen the calf muscles to improve ankle flexibility and relieve heel pain. It involves making a small incision in the back of the leg and releasing part of the gastrocnemius muscle without cutting the nerve endings or essential muscles, ensuring that walking power and balance are preserved.
