Spastic Paresis in a Piedmontese Calf: Neurectomy

This approximately 2-month-old Piedmontese calf, after successfully undergoing surgical treatment for a tibial fracture and a tenotomy of the carpal flexor tendons for congenital contracture, now shows worsening symptoms consistent with bilateral spastic paresis.
The decision is made to perform a neurectomy of the branches of the tibial nerve that innervate the lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius, accessing them through the popliteal fossa.
