  • Title: Fibular Lengthening Osteotomy With Revision Syndesmotic Repair for Ankle Fracture Malunion.
    Author: Ju DG, Debbi EM, Neustein AZ, Moon CN.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2019 Aug; 33 Suppl 1():S38-S39. PubMed ID: 31290833.
    Abstract:
    Ankle malunions with a shortened fibula and syndesmosis widening can pose challenges to the patient and treating physician. Indications for revision-operative intervention include persistent pain and disability. Shortened fibula malunions can be addressed using a lengthening fibular osteotomy and revision fixation. Chronic syndesmotic injuries can be addressed with syndesmotic debridement, open reduction, and suture button fixation. In this video, we present our surgical technique and rationale for the management of a shortened fibular malunion with persistent syndesmotic widening.
