  • Title: Subcapital talar osteotomy to correct transverse plane structural flatfoot deformities.
    Author: Walter JH, Bailey MA, Kressler MR.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 1995; 34(2):177-82. PubMed ID: 7599616.
    Abstract:
    Subcapital talar neck adductory wedge osteotomies have significant benefits in the correction of angular deformities of the talar head in the pediatric flatfoot. Reconstruction of a severe flatfoot may include an Evans opening calcaneal osteotomy, a modified Young's tenosuspension with a posterior tibial and spring ligament advancement and a tendo Achillies lengthening. Talar neck osteotomies should also be considered in the presurgical evaluation of the pediatric and adolescent flatfoot with severe transverse plane deformity.
