Repair of calcaneal varus and cavus

Calcaneal varus or calcaneal cavus alone can be readily corrected, and the surgical procedure is not technically difficult. The author states that if the four basic points he describes are followed, good results will be obtained, and the osteotomy will heal in the desired position without incident. If other osseous deformities of the foot are involved, the deformities must be considered separately and in relation to each other, and other procedures may be necessary.
