Calcaneal Sliding Osteotomy Versus Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy for Valgus Foot Deformity Correction in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Conclusions:
CS and LCL have similar effectiveness in providing long-lasting correction of valgus foot deformities. Concomitant talonavicular fusion is key to success of CS for lower functioning patients with severe deformities, and obligate brace wearers.
Level of Evidence:
Level III, retrospective comparative study.
