The tendoachilles contracture of varying degrees is often present because this syndrome has a plantar flexed talus and calcaneus with a dorsiflexion break in the midfoot. When these deformities are corrected sometimes the foot is unable to dorsiflex to neutral and heel cord lengthening is required.
