Abstract
A 17-year-old patient presented with paralytic valgus left foot deformity after poliomyelitis. Forefoot instability resulted from the transfer of peroneus brevis to the second metatarsal bone. This was secondary to a medial gapping of the talonavicular joint as a result of unbalanced pull of the transferred tendon. Talonavicular arthrodesis following a medial-based wedge articular resection has corrected the deformity.
