Fourteen patients (16 feet) were reviewed an average of 4.5 years after undergoing treatment by calcaneonavicular bar resection. After subjective and objective evaluation, 75% (12 feet) were judged to have had satisfactory results. Preoperative degenerative changes in the rearfoot correlated directly with poor results. Recurrence of the bar in every case was associated with inadequate resection. The study showed no difference in the results when resecting completely ossified bars as compared with resecting incompletely ossified bars.
