The columnar approach to tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction is one that isolates either the medial or the lateral column as the primary factor in the pathogenesis of the deformity. This philosophy de-emphasizes the role of the subtalar joint and the position of the heel with its therapeutic options. THis presentation discusses the formulation of such an approach and provides the information that will enable the technical execution of these procedures.
