Management of distal tibial
and ankle joint deformities is a challenge. Most of these deformities arise
from distal tibial malunions.Supramalleolar osteotomies are performed to realign the distal tibia and to
improve foot and ankle function.Conventional surgical techniques such as o
pen osteotomies with internal
fi
xation (opening or closing wedge) can be utilized. We discuss three patients with distal tibia malunion
who were managed by Supramalleolar osteotomy plus distal tibia locked plate | en_US |
