Abstract
|
|
|
|
Low tibial osteotomy is an extra-articular procedure that realigns the mechanical axis, restoring ankle function. It is also an alternative surgical procedure to manage early osteoarthritis of the ankle joint. This can mainly address ankle varus/valgus, as well as procurvatum/ recurvatum, internal/external rotation, equinus, calcaneus, and limb length discrepancy. The authors describe the history, mechanism, indications, and limitations of low tibial osteotomy focused on osteoarthritis of the ankle with varus malalignment reviewing several articles published thus far.
