Abstract 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.
