Pre-operative gastrocnemius lengths in gait predict outcomes following gastrocnemius lengthening surgery in children with cerebral palsy
Fig 6
Long-term outcomes following gastrocnemius lengthening surgery in case and overtreated limbs.
Observations were labeled as good outcomes if either the improvement in ADI with respect to the pre-surgery gait visit was at least five points, or if the ADI was greater than the pre-surgery visit ADI and at least 90. (A) These observations were binned based on years elapsed following the gastrocnemius lengthening procedure, and rate of good outcome in each bin was computed. (B) Observations were filtered based on whether the limb was labeled as a good outcome at the post-surgical gait visit to examine if the observed outcomes immediately following surgery were maintained over time. The error bars represent ± 1 standard error for the computed fraction. The areas of the dots in (A) and (B) are proportional to the number of observations included in that bin.
