Patient History:  A 62-year-old male patient with right foot pain and a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity, presents for treatment of his right, greater than left, foot deformity and pain. The patient was referred for surgical consultation and failed orthotics, and an Arizona brace. The patient has had progressive collapse of his arch that worsened over the past several years. His pain increased, limiting his daily activities. After appropriate weight-bearing images were taken, surgical intervention was planned. A medial double arthrodesis with gastrocnemius recession was proposed.
