Abstract
The cavovarus foot is a complex deformity that can be treated using multiple surgical procedures, ranging from soft tissue surgery to triple arthrodesis. Among these options, anterior midfoot tarsectomy is a three-dimensional closed-wedge osteotomy, traditionally performed slowly and progressively in a blind fashion, and remaining a challenge for unexperimented surgeons with variable outcomes. As such, we investigated and discussed the use of patient-specific cutting guides (PSCGs) in computer-assisted anterior midfoot tarsectomy in terms of accuracy, reproducibility, and safety.
