A gastrocnemius recession is a procedure that surgically lengthens the calf muscle and attached tendons at the back of the leg. This relaxes the calf and allows the leg to be positioned more naturally with the heel on the ground. Gastrocnemius recession surgery is commonly used to treat a chronically tight calf, achilles pain, and/or plantar fasciitis.
