The mean AOFAS score was 45.3 points preoperatively and 86.3 points at follow-up. Comparison of preoperative and postoperative radiographic parameters was possible in 16 patients (73%), demonstrating significant improvements in Meary’s angle and calcaneal pitch. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Based on these findings, we conclude that correction of progressive collapsing foot deformity through a combination of calcaneal osteotomy, flexor digitorum longus transfer, and peroneal tenodesis leads to improvement in clinical and radiographic parameters.<em><strong> Level of Evidence IV; Therapeutic Studies; Case Series.</strong></em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the Foot & Ankle}, author={Veiga Sanhudo, José Antonio and Marin Canuto, Giorgio}, year={2022}, month={Apr.}, pages={46–51} }
