  • Title: Osteotomies for the Flexible Adult Acquired Flatfoot Disorder.
    Author: Peterson KS, Overley BD, Beideman TC.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2015 Jul; 32(3):389-403. PubMed ID: 26117574.
    Abstract:
    Flexible adult acquired flatfoot disorder is commonly treated with the use of osteotomies in the calcaneus and medial column. The combination of these joint-preserving osteotomies with additional soft-tissue procedures allows realignment of the hindfoot with the goal of preventing further deformity or degenerative joint disease. A thorough understanding of each patient's condition allows the surgeon to match the correct osteotomy to the clinical indication, while also successfully executing the planned surgery.
