Lateral Malleoplasty For Traumatic Lateral Malleol Instability Of The Ankle: A Case Report

Abstract

The lateral malleolus is essential for the lateral stabilisation of the ankle. Defective lateral stabilisation may arise from a congenital absence of the fibula or traumatic loss of the lateral malleolus. There are several surgical techniques to resolve this problem. Within published literature, a new technique arousing a great deal of interest is that of triangular bicortical autograft taken from the iliac wing together with a lateral malleoplasty. We present here the functional results of the case of an 8-year-old boy, who was inside the vehicle in a traffic accident, and suffered a type 3B open fracture with a loss of 10 x 7cm soft tissue in the anterolateral left ankle, bone tissue loss of the distal fibula and anterolateral distal tibia . Our aim was to restore the lateral stability of the ankle using the malleoplasty technique.
