title: The Evans calcaneal osteotomy.
abstract: The Evans calcaneal osteotomy is currently the premier procedure for lateral column lengthening of the flexible flatfoot deformity. It has withstood the test of time, proving itself an effective procedure for the correction of pediatric flexible flatfoot. Current understanding of the osteotomy has allowed the Evans calcaneal osteotomy to become a useful tool in the correction of the adult flexible flatfoot as well.
