Surgical Technique

Indications

Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Release (EGR) is indicated in the treatment of posterior heel cord

contracture (equinus) in those patients who fail to respond to a full course of conservative

management. Appropriate patients include those undergoing reconstruction of foot deformity

and those with potential for neuropathic ulceration (i.e., diabetics). A patent has been applied

Training

For safe and effective use, surgeons must have thorough knowledge of leg anatomy, open

procedures for the gastrocnemius release/recession and surgical technique using this

instrumentation (Figure 1). Instructional video tapes and cadaver workshops are strongly

recommended.

Warning

If, while performing this technique, any problems should arise (such as anatomical anomalies,

inadequate visualizations, inability to identify anatomy, or questions concerning technique

or instrumentation), the surgeon should abandon the endoscopic gastrocnemius release and

convert to an open procedure.

Special Requirements: Medical equipment often has specific needs, such as temperature control or shock absorption. For example, certain medications must remain at a specific temperature throughout the supply chain. This may require insulated containers, refrigerated vehicles, and specialized warehousing.
Custom Packaging: Custom packaging solutions are essential for medical equipment. A professional crating company can provide protective packaging tailored to the unique requirements of each product. This can include foam packaging die-cut to the exact shape needed for the product.
Reusable Packaging: For regular shipments, reusable packaging can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. These crates can be assembled and disassembled without tools and can be fully customized.
International Shipping: When shipping internationally, it's important to be aware of customs regulations. Failure to comply can result in delays, returns, or fines. Professional shipping companies can help obtain the necessary permits and documentation.
Insurance and Tracking: Given the high cost and critical nature of medical equipment, insurance is essential. Tracking can also provide peace of mind and help prevent loss.
