Reconstructive Osteotomy for Ankle Malunion Improves Patient Satisfaction and Function

الملخص EN

Treatment of chronic symptoms caused by a malunion is a difficult problem in orthopedic surgery.

We encountered a case of ankle malunion at our hospital about 1 year after the first operation.

The patient had been unable to walk with weight-bearing but regained the ability to walk after reconstructive osteotomy of the fibula.

Functional scores for the foot and ankle were significantly improved after intervention.

Reconstructive osteotomy appears to represent a good option for ankle malunion.
