In Dr. Ponseti's article on treating relapses he mentions that, along with

the ATTT, the heel cord is lengthened if dorsiflexion is under 15°. When

Emma had her ATTT done Dr. Ponseti said that at 5° dorsiflexion she didn't

need to have the heel cord lengthened. The paper was produced in 2001 and

here is the exact quote; " This treatment [ATTT] is followed by lengthening

the tendo Achilles when dorsiflexion of the ankle is less

than 15 degrees. "

Has anyone read or heard more from Dr. Ponseti on this?
