Tibiofibular arthrodesis for malunion of the talocrural joint

J Foot Ankle Surg. 1995 May-Jun;34(3):283-8. doi: 10.1016/S1067-2516(09)80061-6.

Abstract

Reconstruction of malunited or an incongruous talocrural articulation is relatively unrecognized within the literature and few procedures have been described. This article reviews a case of a 36-year-old male who presented with chronic ankle pain, secondary to a malunion of the ankle joint. The case presentation, including surgical treatment and follow-up care, is presented. A review of the literature is also provided.
