1. Common foot operations for Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease and related disorders.
Common foot operations for Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease and related disorders. (A) Various stages of a tendon transfer operation for pes cavus (soft tissue correction) in which the posterior tibialis tendon is transferred to the peroneus brevis tendon, thereby strengthening both the dorsiflexion and eversion forces on the foot and correcting the foot drop and hind foot varus deformity. Other soft tissue correction procedures include Achilles tendon lengthening. (B) Procedure for a triple arthrodesis in which the subtalar, calcaneocuboid and talonavicular joints are fused permitting some movement at the ankle. (C) Procedure of a calcaneal osteotomy required to correct a fixed hind foot varus deformity.
