Calcaneonavicular bar resection. A retrospective review.
The authors present a retrospective study evaluating the results of calcaneonavicular bar resection with interposition of the extensor digitorum brevis in ten patients with painful calcaneonavicular coalition. All operative procedures were supervised by one of the authors to ensure consistency in preoperative evaluation, surgical technique, and postoperative care. Results obtained from questionnaires showed significant improvement of preoperative symptoms with increased activity levels noted in all patients.
