Abstract:
The valgus ankle is a common cause of pain, deformity, and disability in patients. Addressing these deformities with extraarticular osteotomies is a valuable, joint-sparing treatment option. The modified Wiltse osteotomy provides correction of the mechanical alignment as well as allowing inherent stability. Accurate templating of the Wiltse triangle enables reproducible, accurate intraoperative results.
