Content
Figure 18 is a rear, perspective view of a foot 1800, after performance of an Evans calcaneal osteotomy and a medializing calcaneal osteotomy with patient-specific instruments and/or implants, according to one embodiment. The foot 1800 may have a calcaneus 1806 and a talus 1810, in addition to the metacarpals 1820 and cuneiforms 1830. Pursuant to the Evans calcaneal osteotomy, an anterior portion of the calcaneus 1806 may be cut along the medial-lateral direction to separate a first bone segment 1840 of the calcaneus 1806 from a second bone segment 1842 of the calcaneus 1806. The second bone segment 1842 may be reoriented medially, relative to the first bone segment 1840, such that a heel 1850 of the calcaneus 1806 is moved medially, simulating a natural, healthy arch in the foot 200.
