Proximal Gastrocnemius Release: Over 1000 Cases Say Simpler Works

This episode breaks down Barouk's 12-year experience with proximal medial gastrocnemius lengthening. We cover why medial-only release matches combined techniques in a blinded comparison, how 79 percent of patients normalized dorsiflexion at two years, and why this approach may be a practical alternative to the distal Strayer procedure for equinus contracture.
