INCORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

:Although there is some increased contracture on the static knee examination, on the kinematic examination knee flexion at foot contact is OK and the EMG is normal. Additionally the varus osteotomy will cause some effective hamstring lengthening through bone shortening. Rectus transfer is definitely indicated.
