Staged reconstruction of a multiplane post-traumatic deformity: a case report.

Damaging effects of joint function can occur after fractures of the lower extremity that have healed with an angular malunion. Surgical techniques have been described to restore the normal mechanics and establish a plantigrade foot, including osteotomy and fusion. In the present report, we describe a unique case of a 17-year-old male who had initially experienced a severe injury to his left lower extremity and foot when he had been run over by a jeep.

Displacement of the anterior process of the calcaneus after Evans calcaneal osteotomy.

The Evans calcaneal osteotomy is an invaluable tool in the correction of pediatric collapsing pes planovalgus. It has traditionally been performed without the use of fixation. Recently, however, fixation of the Evans osteotomy has been proposed to prevent displacement.
