Ankle Joint
• 3 articulations
• Fibula  secondary stabilizer
• Talus
• Trapezoidal – wider anteriorly
• DF – ER  4.2o
• PF – IR  1.4o
• Distal fibula w/ DF
• Lateral translation 1-2mm
• ER
Malunited Ankle Fractures
• Isolated lateral malleolar ankle fractures
• Potts/Bimalleolar ankle fractures
• Cotton/Trimalleolar ankle fractures
• Syndesmotic injuries
Malunited Ankle Fractures
• Shortening and lateral rotation of distal fibula
• Widening of mortise, lateral tilt talus
• Most common
Importance
• 1 mm shift of the talus  42% reduction in the
tibiotalar contact area  increase stress on the
articular cartilage
• Serious and persistent dysfunction
Symptoms
• Difficulty walking
• Pain & edema
• Cosmetic changes
Guidelines
• Little in the literature to guide approaches and
techniques
• Anecdotal experiences
• Cite literature where available
3 Guiding Concepts
• Restore alignment of the entire lower extremity
• Restoration of the articular surface
• Restoration of painless ankle motion
Preoperative Evaluation
• History
• Physical
• Tenderness
• ROM
• Imaging
• Xrays
• CT
• MRI
• Nuclear medicine
Issues to Consider
• Medical conditions
• Diabetes, ESRD
• Neuropathy
• Dermal issues
• Nicotine use
• Bony issues
• Alignment
• Bony quality and nonunion
• Changes in joint (arthritic)
Issues to Consider
• Skin
• Lesions
• Prior incisions
• Contractures
Imaging
• Radiographs
• Weightbearing ankle xrays
• Asymmetry of the medial and lateral clear spaces
• Talar tilt > 2mm
• Talar subluxation
• Lateralization of the talus
• Eccentric joint space narrowing
• Arthritic changes
• Fibular shortening
Imaging
• Radiographs
• Fibular shortening
• Compare to contralateral/uninjured side
75o-86o
Imaging
• Radiographs
• Fibular shortening
• 3 criteria of normal distal fibular length
1. Equal jt space
2. Intact Shenton line
3. Unbroken curve
between lateral talus
and peroneal groove
Imaging
• CT scan
• Arthritic changes
• Fibular shortening
• Fibular rotational malunion
• Syndesmotic widening
• >2mm difference b/t anterior & posterior distances
from the fibula to the incisura
Management
• Nonoperative
• NSAIDS
• Steroid injections
• Activity modifications
• Orthoses and braces
Surgical Plan
• Approach bone
• Osteotomy
• Mobilize bone
• Clean medial gutter
• Fixation
Approach
• Surgical approach
• Osteotomies
• Fibular
• Tibial
• Supramalleolar
• Fixation
• Ex-fix
• Internal fixation
• Combo
• Bone grafts (auto and allografts) and orthobiologics
Case 1
• Mid 50s diabetic
• Diagnosed with “the gout”
Case 1
Varus malunion
Flexion malunion
Case 1
• Fibular and tibial osteotomy
• Biplanar
• MAC ex-fix
• “multiaxial compression”
Case 1
Case 1
Case 1
1 yr post-op
Walking
Pain free
No assistive device
Case 2
• Fibular shortening – courtesy of Dr. Kadakia
Case 2
Case 2
Case 2
Literature
• Fibular osteotomy
• 1976 – Hughes, JBJS-A
• 28 cases fibular malunion  lengthening
• 22 VG/G
• 6 Poor
• No correlation
• Time since accident
• Age of patient
• Type initial treatment
Literature
• Malunited ankles
• 1985 – Weber and Simpson
• 23 cases
• 17 G/E
• 6 Poor  pre-existing arthritis
