Abstract

Objective To evaluate a technique in order to decrease the volume of gastrocnemius muscle for calf reduction. Methods The motor branches of fibularis nerve innervating the medial gastrocnemius muscle were cut off by a 2cm long incision at popliteal crease. Results 4 cases were treated with this technique the circumference of the leg was reduced 3.0～4.5 cm (mean 3.6±0.8 cm). Goal curve of the leg was appeared postoperatively. Shapes and function of the leg were satisfactory. Conclusion The above mentioned technique could be a simple, safe and effective method for calf reduction.
