A Cohort Study of Patients Undergoing Distal Tibial Osteotomy without Fibular Osteotomy for Medial Ankle Arthritis with Mortise Widening

摘要

Background: Although the supramalleolar osteotomy can shift the weight-bearing axis laterally, it cannot reconstruct a widened ankle mortise caused by progression of medial ankle osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiographic and clinical outcomes of distal tibial osteotomy without fibular osteotomy in patients with medial ankle osteoarthritis and mortise widening.
