Abstract

Calcaneal osteotomy is a commonly used tool in cavovarus foot reconstructions. Understanding the indications and limitations of such an osteotomy is critical to success in reconstruction. We present a comprehensive review of surgical calcaneal osteotomy techniques and the currently available state of literature for their indications and limitations.
