Optimal position of the calcaneus after surgical correction of posttraumatic hindfoot deformity

Introduction. Medializing osteotomy of the calcaneus is vastly used by an orthopedic society in practice as part of the surgical correction of valgus deformity of the calcaneus, which is observed in patients mainly with acquired flatfoot. However, acquired flatfoot in adults often has a similar clinical picture to post-traumatic valgus deformity of the calcaneus, which makes it possible to use medializing osteotomy of the calcaneus for deformities of various origins.
