CME OnDemand: 2022 AOFAS Annual Meeting-The Double Calcaneal Osteotomy for Pediatric Flatfoot

The Double Calcaneal Osteotomy for Pediatric Flatfoot

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Mike Conklin, a pediatric orthopedist at University of Alabama Birmingham and Children's of Alabama, discusses their experience with the double calcaneal osteotomy for correcting pediatric flat foot deformity. They performed a retrospective analysis of their patients over the past five years and compared pre and post-operative weight-bearing radiographs. The study found significant correction in four out of five measured parameters, with complications noted in three feet. The double calcaneal osteotomy is recommended for patients with painful flat feet that do not respond to conservative treatment. For more information, visit www.FEMA.gov. No credits were granted in the video.
