The patients included 9 males and 2 females aged from 24 to 69\u00a0years old, with an average age of 42.18\u00a0years. The clinical and radiological results were assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score. In addition, functional recovery and general quality of life were evaluated using the 12-Item Short-Form Survey (SF-12).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All radiological parameters were significantly improved at the last follow-up, with increases of 14.37\u00b0, 9.18\u00b0, and 4.51\u00a0mm in the B\u00f6hler\u2019s angle, calcaneal pitch angle, and talocalcaneal height, respectively, and decreases of 6.39\u00a0mm and 6.18\u00b0 in the calcaneal width and Hindfoot alignment angle (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
