The "L" shaped osteotomy effectively corrects triplane heel deformities, offering a stable and versatile surgical option for calcaneal deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Surgery

Background:

  • Triplane deformities of the heel present complex challenges in orthopedic surgery.
  • Existing surgical techniques for calcaneal deformities may have limitations in stability and versatility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of the
  • L
  • shaped osteotomy of the calcaneus for correcting triplane heel deformities.
  • To evaluate the predictability, stability, and versatility of this osteotomy technique.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study analyzing clinical and radiographic data from 36 patients (58 feet).
  • The
  • L
  • shaped osteotomy was performed to correct triplane deformities.
