A 9-year-old male with bilateral skewfoot deformity underwent corrective surgery consisting of multiple abductory, lesser tarsal osteotomies, and medial displacement L-shaped calcaneal osteotomy. The author prefers this surgical approach because it minimizes shortening of the lateral column without limiting the amount of transverse plane correction. The calcaneal osteotomy offers excellent stability in the sagittal plane without limiting frontal or transverse plane correction.
