Calcaneal osteotomy is an extra-articular, joint-sparing procedure that is used
in the correction of cavovarus and planovalgus foot deformity. Careful
indications and contraindications for the procedure, with meticulous surgical
technique, should be followed to avoid complications and to achieve optimal
outcomes. Multiple options of osteotomies exist, including translational
(medializing and lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy, with ability to slide
proximally or distally, closing wedge (Dwyer), and rotational type osteotomies
(Evans, Z-osteotomy). Future directions for innovation include developments of
both implants and surgical techniques.
