Where this comes from

Abstract

Because of soft tissue constraints, definitive management of hindfoot trauma occasionally requires a direct posterior approach via a coronal split of the Achilles tendon. This article and the accompanying video demonstrate a direct posterior approach for subtalar distraction arthrodesis and review treatment decisions involved with management of these complex cases.
