Content
Such preoperative alignment and planning may be particularly useful where multiple procedures, such as the Evans calcaneal osteotomy and the medializing calcaneal osteotomy, are combined for a single patient. Without such planning, it may be difficult to properly assess the effect of the combined procedures on the patient’s anatomy. For example, the effect of the Evans calcaneal osteotomy, and that of the medializing calcaneal osteotomy, is to shift the heel 1050 medially. The combined shift may be difficult to assess in the operating room but may be much more easily and accurately gauged via manipulation of the modeled anatomy.
