How do we correct ankle deformity, chronic ankle instability and early ankle arthritis?

A 45-year-old male had chronic pain in left ankle - history of a non-resolving ankle sprain.

He has twisted his ankle 5 to 6 times in the last 2 years.

Treated for TB, Rheumatoid and septic arthritis in many hospitals in another state. Had recalcitrant pain.

I found lateral ankle ligamentous instability with resultant 15 to 20 degree ankle varus deformity.

MRI was showing limited ankle arthritis.

Clinically ankle had a good range of motion.

Treated by supra malleolar open wedge osteotomy with lateral ankle ligament Reconstruction.

Is it Helpful?
