  • Title: Supramalleolar osteotomy.
    Author: Rush SM.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2009 Apr; 26(2):245-57. PubMed ID: 19389597.
    Abstract:
    Supramalleolar osteotomy for posttraumatic malunion, developmental or physeal deformities, congenital malalignment, or focal articular degenerative problems in the ankle is a useful surgical technique. Accurate evaluation of the distal tibial deformity, weight-bearing radiographs, and soft tissue examination for contractures and instability ensure proper decision making. Osteotomy planning must involve all components of the deformity, including the foot, and respect osteotomy principles.
