The Evans calcaneal osteotomy: postoperative care and an evaluation on the metatarsus adductus angle.
A retrospective study of two aspects of the Evans calcaneal osteotomy with bone graft is presented. First, the postoperative casting time can be decreased significantly to 3 weeks of nonweightbearing and 3 weeks of weightbearing. Second, the metatarsus adductus angle remains relatively unaltered after the procedure.
