Abstract
Purpose : This study was performed to investigate the dynamic effect of medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) on the calcaneal inversion. Materials and Methods : 10 fresh-frozen, intact cadaver foot-ankle specimens were tested, using a custom loading apparatus at an orientation consistent with the early heel rise portion (40%) of the gait cycle. Calcaneal inversion was measured with identical ground reaction force and tendon force, before and after MCO. Results : Calcaneal inversion was in the pre-osteotomy condition and after MCO. Calcaneal plantar flexion was in the pre-osteotomy condition and after MCO. Increases of calcaneal inversion and flexion were significant (intact vs. MCO), (p
