When compared to medial column arthrodesis, the Cotton osteotomy has shown to be superior in multiple facets. In all 5 papers reviewed, all studies reported no nonunions using the Cotton. Only Boffeli et al. reported a single case of delayed union that was treated with a bone stimulator, which resolved at 6 months. Nonunion rates in midfoot arthrodesis procedures has been reported to be as high as 20%, strongly supporting the use of the Cotton.2 All papers reviewed supported the effectiveness of the Cotton as an adjunctive procedure in flatfoot surgery.
