Abstract
Foot and ankle physicians in China encounter quite a large amount of severe and complex deformities. The main cause of severe ankle and foot deformity is trauma, while the other causes may be neuromuscular diseases, improper reduction and fixation and so on. Staged procedure may sometimes be a safer way to correct deformities in the presence of severe soft tissue contracture. Periarticular osteotomy combined with soft tissue balancing can be used in treating severe varus ankle arthritis, including stage IIIb cases and patients with talar tilt of more than 10 degrees.
