Maximum, minimum, and average MTP joint angles and MTP range of motion (ROM) for the tendon excision (TE) only group and tendon excision and replacement (PET-SI) group at baseline (B, pre-surgery), 2 weeks post-surgery, and 8 weeks post-surgery during stance phase of gait. Error bars represent one standard deviation. PF – Plantarflexion; DF – Dorsiflexion. A larger angle indicates greater dorsiflexion/less plantarflexion. * indicates significant (p < 0.05) differences between timepoints across groups. a indicates significant (p < 0.05) differences between timepoints within a group. Table 3 gives specific p-values for each comparison
