  • Title: Distal tibial transphyseal osteotomy for ankle varus deformity in an operated case of clubfoot.
    Author: Trivedi VN, Bacha AR.
    Journal: J Postgrad Med; 2003; 49(3):249-51. PubMed ID: 14597789.
    Abstract:
    Ankle varus deformity arises due to a number of congenital and acquired causes leading to significant functional debility in the patients, especially children. We report a less commonly used technique, the transphyseal osteotomy of distal tibia, for the correction of varus deformity of the ankle joint in a thirteen-year-old boy. Full correction of the deformity could be achieved using this technique. The patient is fully functional with normal gait. No recurrence was detected at follow-up visit 26 months later.
