Description: Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, June 1998 by Pai, VS (full text)
The sequelae of displaced os calcis fractures have been a significant problem and their management continues to remain a controversial issue. Various techniques of lateral decompression of the calcaneum have been reported.2,4 In this report, the author describes a case of a malunited os calcis fracture with recurrent subluxation of the peronei tendons which was treated by lateral calcaneal osteotomy and rerouting these tendons deep to the calcaneofibular ligament (Pozo's procedure3).
