    Author: Tunçez M, Kazımoğlu C.
    Journal: Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg; 2022 Sep; 28(9):1359-1362. PubMed ID: 36043930.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of ankle deformities caused by the physeal bar after a fracture sequel is complicated. Each patient should be treated individually depending on of the severity of the deformity and bar location. We presented a case report of a successful treatment of an 11-year-old male patient with progressive varus deformity and bar formation due to trauma in the distal tibial physis. Tibia distal open wedge osteotomy, fibula closed wedge osteotomy, bar resection, and autogenic adipose tissue interposition were performed. The patient is at 4 year follow-up without any complication. We think that bar resection technique provides favorable results even in severe ankle deformity.
