Content
Figure 10 is a rear, perspective view of the foot 200 of Figure 2, 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 200 may have a calcaneus 1000 and a talus 1010, in addition to the metacarpals 1020 and cuneiforms 1030 depicted in Figure 2. Pursuant to the Evans calcaneal osteotomy, an anterior portion of the calcaneus 1000 may be cut along the medial-lateral direction to separate a first bone segment 1040 of the calcaneus 1000 from a second bone segment 1042 of the calcaneus 1000. The second bone segment 1042 may be reoriented medially, relative to the first bone segment 1040, such that a heel 1050 of the calcaneus 1000 is moved medially, simulating a natural, healthy arch in the foot 200.
