About this trial
Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) often requires surgical correction when conservative methods fail. Calcaneal displacement osteotomy is a key procedure in restoring alignment. This study introduces a novel K-wire technique to enhance control during surgery and minimize complications related to manual manipulation. It builds on prior research highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches in achieving precise fragment positioning.
