Kevin, did John's above example assume or state that the distal third of the
tibia was vertical?

Kevin, I thought that both cases considered the angular relationship of the
posterior bisection of the calcaneus to the distal third of the tibia. But
somewhere in the back of my mind I think that tibial varum was listed by
John (probably Mert to) as a type of rearfoot varus. I will have to look at
John's notes.
