Clinical Pics of Patient

Below are x-rays of a foot pre-operatively (left) where the black line indicates and plantarflexed (downward directed) talus bone and post-surgical repair with a subtalar joint implant and lenthening of the calf muscle which allows the calcaneus (heel bone) to set underneath the talus and the implant keeps the talus from subluxing off the calcaneus and now the talus is more inline with the front of the foot (right).
