Intraoperative photograph of a short incision.

(A) A photograph showing a short incision over the sinus tarsi and posterior facet of subtalar joint.

(B) Posterior facet is reduced under direct vision after retraction of the peroneal tendons inferiorly.

Fig. 2

Photograph of a patient showing dry skin of sole on the left side in this photograph due to tarsal tunnel syndrome after calcaneal fracture.

Fig. 3

Photograph of a patient showing clawing of lesser toes due to intrinsic muscle contractures from calcaneal compartment syndrome.

Fig. 4

Photographs and radiographs of distraction arthrodesis through a L-shaped extensile lateral approach.

(A, B) Lateral (A) and posterior (B) views of the foot show shortening and widening of the heel.

(C, D) Preoperative (C) and postoperative (D) lateral radiographs of the calcaneus show restoration of calcaneal height and talar declination angle after distraction arthrodesis.

(E) Lateral wall ostectomy is done with osteotome.

(F) Bone removed from the lateral wall is inserted into the widened subtalar joint.
