    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study examined fifteen cases of congenital ball and socket ankle articulation, finding it linked to leg length inequality and other foot bone anomalies. No surgical intervention was needed for these congenital malformations.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Congenital Malformations
    • Foot and Ankle Surgery

    Background:

    • Ball and socket articulation of the ankle is a rare congenital anomaly.
    • Associated anomalies can impact limb development and function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on a series of patients with ball and socket ankle articulation.
    • To describe associated skeletal anomalies and long-term outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series review of fifteen patients.
    • Average follow-up of twelve years.
    • Clinical and radiographic assessment of associated anomalies.

    Main Results:

    • All fifteen patients presented with leg length inequality.

  • Ten patients had hindfoot coalitions.
  • Nine patients exhibited reduced forefoot bony elements.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ball and socket ankle articulation is associated with congenital short-limb malformations.
    • Adaptive changes due to hindfoot rigidity may modify the presentation.
    • Surgical intervention was not required in any of the reported cases.
