A gastrocnemius recession is performed on a patient with gastrocnemius equinus (tightness of the calf muscle) to lengthen the calf muscle. The tightness in the gastrocnemius muscle causes the ankle to point downward, meaning the joint cannot dorsiflex (bend up) normally.

A scope similar to the one used for carpal tunnel endoscopic surgery was developed for an endoscopic gastrocnemius recession (EGR). This scope allows surgeons to perform the procedure endoscopically, with smaller incisions. The surgeon cuts through the fascia to expose the underlying muscle.
Compared to an open procedure, endoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, which allows for a quicker recovery time. The patient can bear weight in a cast boot.
