Abstract
This article presents an alternative treatment for tibialis posterior tendon rupture in a select group of patients with recent rupture and planovalgus foot structure. Double calcaneal osteotomy is used to realign weightbearing forces in situations where soft-tissue repair alone is not sufficient, and arthrodesis is premature. A single case is presented followed by a discussion, with encouraging results.
