Abstract
|
|
|
Pediatric ankle fractures can cause physeal injuries which can lead to the shortening of the fibula. This induces a lateral shift of the talus, valgus tilt, and instability of the ankle joint, which can result in an arthritic change in this joint. Patients with a shortening of the fibula may complain of constant pain and restricted movements in their daily lives and during sports activities. Ankle reconstruction with fibula lengthening Z-osteotomy can provide excellent results if arthritis is absent or minimal, especially in young and active patients. To the best of the authors¡¯ knowledge, this is the first report in South Korea regarding the treatment of fibula shortening following a growth arrest due to injury.
