Radiographic angular measurements are essential tools for assessing deformity severity and monitoring postoperative outcomes, yet their dynamic behavior after correction remains poorly characterized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To analyze pre- and postoperative variations of radiographic angles in spastic planovalgus feet surgically treated using Mosca\u2019s calcaneal lengthening technique within a retrospective cohort, and to provide an educational reference for orthopedic residents regarding angular behavior and measurement interpretation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive study was performed on 132 (128 patients; 4 bilateral cases) feet of children with CP (GMFCS I\u2013V) undergoing calcaneal lengthening, with or without adjunctive procedures (reefing or arthrodesis). Standardized weight-bearing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were analyzed at five time points (preoperative, immediate postoperative, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years). The evaluated angles included: AP talocalcaneal (Kite\u2019s), AP talo\u2013first metatarsal, talonavicular coverage, calcaneus\u2013fifth metatarsal (C5M), Costa\u2013Bartani, Meary\u2019s, lateral talocalcaneal, and calcaneal inclination. Descriptive statistics were applied to assess temporal evolution.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All radiographic parameters showed immediate postoperative improvement, confirming effective deformity correction. The AP talocalcaneal angle decreased from 31.6\u00b0 preoperatively to 24.0\u00b0 postoperatively, while the calcaneal pitch increased from 7.1\u00b0 to 19.1\u00b0. Mild regression was observed in several angles particularly C5M and Meary\u2019s at two years, likely reflecting growth-related and neuromuscular factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Calcaneal lengthening provides measurable and durable radiographic correction in CP-related planovalgus foot, although partial regression of some parameters over time highlights the dynamic nature of the deformity. Radiographic angles remain reliable for postoperative monitoring and educational training, supporting their use as a standardized multi-angle assessment tool in the medium-term management of these patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402-026-06206-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]],"date-time":"2026-02-19T08:52:45Z","timestamp":1771491165000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dynamic radiographic angle changes in planovalgus foot correction among children with cerebral palsy"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"146","author":[{"given":"Ana Laura","family":"Arenas-D\u00edaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agust\u00edn","family":"Barajas-Monterrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvestre","family":"Fuentes-Figueroa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika Alejandrina","family":"Barr\u00f3n-Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clemente","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos A.","family":"Guzm\u00e1n-Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"6206_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"571","DOI":"10.1017\/S001216220500112X","volume":"47","author":"M Bax","year":"2005","unstructured":"Bax M, Goldstein M, Rosenbaun P, Leviton A, Paneth N, Dan B et al (2005) Proposed definition and classification of cerebral palsy, April 2005.
