Abstract
The current trend is to preserve the hindfoot joints to allow for more normal biomechanics and avoid arthritic changes in adjacent joints. Calcaneal osteotomies are effective in the treatment of hindfoot and foot malalignment with an acceptable rate of complications at medium-term follow-up. An important prerequisite should be flexibility and the absence of joint arthritis.Entities:
