There are concerns with the use of the Shannon burr in calcaneal osteotomies entered from the lateral side, with the medial structures possibly at risk when performing the osteotomy of the medial calcaneal wall. Our aims with this study were to investigate the neurovascular relationships with the calcaneal osteotomy performed using a Shannon burr. This study was performed at the anatomy department, University of Sussex, Brighton. There were 13 fresh frozen below knee cadaveric specimens obtained for this study. The osteotomy was performed using a Shannon burr using a minimally invasive technique. The neurovascular structures were then dissected out to analyse their relation and any damage.Introduction:
