Supramalleolar osteotomy is a valuable surgical technique for correcting various ankle deformities. Proper planning, including deformity assessment and considering the entire foot, is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Surgical techniques
  • Ankle reconstruction

Background:

  • Posttraumatic malunion, developmental/physeal deformities, congenital malalignment, and focal articular degenerative problems can significantly affect ankle function.
  • Supramalleolar osteotomy is a recognized surgical approach to address these complex ankle issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of supramalleolar osteotomy in managing diverse ankle deformities.
  • To emphasize the critical components of preoperative evaluation and surgical planning for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive evaluation of distal tibial deformity using weight-bearing radiographs.
  • Thorough soft tissue examination to identify contractures and instability.
  • Detailed osteotomy planning that incorporates all deformity components, including the foot.
