Midfoot osteotomies have long been used for a wide variety of congenital and acquired deformities. Severe pes cavus often necessitates some form of surgical correction, and no single procedure can be used exclusively. Midfoot osteotomies may be combined with adjunctive procedures to form an appropriate strategy for the treatment of these deformities. The authors present an overview of pes cavus, including evaluation and classification of the deformity, as well as associated conditions. Several soft tissue and osseous procedures for correction of the cavus foot are discussed. Special attention is directed at the use of various midfoot osteotomies and their ability to enhance such correction.

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.

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.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined midfoot osteotomy combined with Ilizarov methods as a treatment for severe rigid pes cavus, focusing on both clinical and radiological outcomes in 12 patients over a follow-up period of about 33 months.
- Results showed that all patients achieved plantigrade feet, experienced pain relief, and reported significant improvements in functional scores, with a 100% bony union rate and minimal complications.
- Key radiological measurements, such as the Meary angle and calcaneal varus angle, improved significantly post-surgery, indicating successful correction of foot alignment.
