Abstract
We present two cases of patients undergoing secondary surgery due to Baker III and IV contracture, with detailed sonoelastography evaluation before and after the surgery. It is probably the first case where the use of sonoelastography has enabled plane colour-coded analysis of regions with different stiffness (Young moduli, kPa). The obtained results have been compared with applanation tonometry.
