Popis: Background The aim of this prospective non randomized case series study was to assess the intermediate-term outcomes of double calcaneal osteotomy (lateral column lengthening and medial slide calcaneal osteotomy) use in ambulatory cerebral palsy with flexible planovalgus feet. Methods 16 cases with planovalgus feet were surgically treated by double calcaneal osteotomy and observed over an average of 33.5 months. The mean age at the time of surgery was 10.74 years. The functional outcomes were assessed clinically and radiologically. Results There were a statistical improvement of clinical heel valgus and all radiological parameters as regard talar head uncoverage, calcaneal pitch, talo-calcaneal angle, and talus 1st metatarsal angle at the end of follow up period. Conclusion Double calcaneal osteotomy is a good option in the treatment of flexible planovalgus feet in ambulatory cerebral palsy patients.
