Although the procedure restores the medial longitudinal arch, the optimal positioning of the trapezoid allograft along the osteotomy site remains unclear. Thus, we aim to test whether superior (\u22642\u2009mm) vs inferior (&gt;2\u2009mm) graft position is associated with short-term radiographic changes after pediatric CLO.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed 27 children (36\u202ffeet) who underwent CLO between 2015 and 2024. Feet were stratified by graft superior border position on weightbearing lateral radiographs: \u201cSuperior position\u201d group (n\u2009=\u200921) (\u22642\u2009mm from the distal calcaneal dorsal edge) vs \u201cInferior position\u201d group (n\u2009=\u200915) (&gt;2\u2009mm). Primary outcomes were 2- and 6-month changes in radiographic parameters such as calcaneal pitch angle (L-CPA), talocalcaneal angle (TCA), and talo\u2013first metatarsal angle (TFMA). Interobserver reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      ICC values for all radiographic parameters exceeded 0.75, indicating excellent measurement reliability.
