Midfoot osteotomies are primarily used for reconstructive procedures for congenital or acquired deformities. Although used more in a younger population, they can used in most any patient population. With restoration of a more normal architecture, patients' symptoms resolve and prevention of long-term sequella can be avoided. Careful evaluation is necessary, but with proper use, midfoot osteotomies are useful procedures in the foot and ankle surgeons' repertoire.

Outcomes of Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy in Ambulatory Patients with Cerebral Palsy and Planovalgus Foot Deformity.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Severance Children's Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: To date, no studies have evaluated the longevity of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and pes planovalgus. This study aimed to explore the changes in foot alignment following CLO in patients with CP, utilizing both radiographic evaluations and dynamic foot-pressure assessments.
Methods: A retrospective study of 282 feet in 180 ambulatory patients was performed.

Joint arthrodesis is a very common surgical approach in foot and ankle surgery at various anatomic levels. Several techniques have demonstrated the ability to provide successful fusion with appropriate preparation of the joint in question. With that in mind, the joint preparation, regardless of approach or instrumentation, is consistently the most time-consuming.

Int Orthop
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand.
Purpose: Flexible flatfoot (FF) can interrupt children's activity through uneven pressure distribution to the medial column of the foot and may require surgery. Medialising calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) helps restore the foot‒tripod complex. The objective was to compare pedobarography and ankle‒foot kinematics in children with symptomatic FF after MCO to those in controls.

Postoperative Calcaneocuboid Joint Subluxation and Midtarsal Joint Changes in Pediatric Idiopathic Flexible Flatfoot Treated With Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy: A Midterm Follow-up Study.
Foot Ankle Int
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Asan Medical Center Children's Hospital, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Songpa-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) is one of the main surgical options for treatment of pediatric idiopathic flexible flatfoot (FFF). Reportedly, calcaneocuboid (CC) joint subluxation occurs after CLO; however, its effect on the midfoot remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the radiologic midterm results after CLO treatment in pediatric idiopathic FFF.
