INCORRECT


The correct answer is:

TRUE:

Subtalar fusion has the most documented tract record in this clinical situation, however, lateral column lengthening (calcaneal lengthening) has been considered an option recently. In this author's experience, this should only be considered if the planovalgus is relatively mild and all associated deformities such as knee contracture and tibial torsion are corrected at the same time.
