Pt has now pain on the medial side on full weight bearing walking and is also concerned about deformity.
He has mild hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction and as expected loss of arch with flattened medial border of foot.
Xrays show mild hindfoot valgus, forefoot abduction in AP view and in LAT view talo navicular subluxation.
CT scan shows a mild calcaneal valgus and foot abduction
I would like to know whether I should do a calcaneal osteotomy with opening wedge cuboid osteotomy or think of a triple fusion
