A Calcaneal Sliding Osteotomy is a surgical procedure where a surgeon cuts the calcaneus (heel bone) and then shifts its position to correct foot deformities like flat feet or excessively high arches, essentially “sliding” a section of the bone to realign it, usually stabilized with metal screws or plates to maintain the new position; this procedure alters the alignment of the heel bone to improve foot function.
