Full 3d image-based evaluations of morphological and surgical parameters in medializing calcaneal osteotomy

A medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) is frequently performed to correct adult-aquired flatfoot deformities, but a lack in reliable 3D data associated to clinical/surgical parameters still exists. This study was aimed at reconstructing relevant 3D surgical parameters using a Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) in standing position, by also identifying possible relevant correlations. The findings suggest that the present 3D investigation in weight-bearing is very valuable in MCO. In the future, computer-aided surgery can benefit much of this.
