About this Instructional Video
This instructional video showcases a calcaneus medial sliding osteotomy using a 3.5 step plate, a procedure for flexible flatfoot deformity with limited talonavicular joint abduction. Viewers will see key steps: a precise incision guided by anatomical landmarks like the distal fibula and sinus tarsi, exposure of the calcaneal wall while protecting the sural nerve, and the osteotomy performed with an oscillating saw and chisel. The video highlights the 8 mm correction, plate fixation with screws, and final X-ray confirmation. It also covers post-op care, including partial weight-bearing for 6 weeks and follow-up X-rays up to 3 months.
