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.
