Transfibular osteotomy in the correction of ankle joint incongruity
1Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, California, USA.
Abstract:
The mechanics involved in Danis-Weber-types B and C ankle fractures may allow the fibula to seek a shortened and externally rotated position following injury. Residual talar instability secondary to fibular malalignment may ensue if proper anatomic restoration is not achieved at the time of reduction. Evaluation of ankle incongruity may take the form of clinical, radiographic, and diagnostic techniques. Three case studies are presented in which fibular osteotomies were utilized to restore proper anatomic alignment and function to the ankle mortise.
