Club Foot: Combined Soft-Tissue and Bone Procedures



- Discussion:
    - posteromedial release may not fully correct a resistant deformity;
            - w/ severe deformity, consider osteotomy of the distal part of calcaneus combined with a plantar fasciotomy in addition to the 
                   posteromedial release;
    - medial opening-wedge osteotomy of calcaneus and the insertion of a wedge of bone;
    - osteotomy of the calcaneus is laterally and dorsally based closing-wedge resection of the distal part of the calcaneus, avoiding both 
            calcaneocuboid and subtalar joints
