Figures

None
FIG. 1. Anteroposterior (left radiograph) and lateral (right) views of patient A at 6 years of age, showing the typical medial involvement of the distal tibial epiphysis and medial talus. Note the misshapen contour of the medial part of the ankle.
None
FIG. 2. Left, an anteroposterior view illustrating exostosis from the fibula epiphysis (patient B, at age 11/2 yr). Right, a resection 1 year postoperatively, with the exostosis removed and showing a more normal–appearing ankle joint.
None
FIG. 3. Left, anteroposterior radiograph of the ankle of patient C at presentation (age 31/2 yr). The abnormal articulation of the right fibula and talus is obvious, with the foot being pushed into varus by the fibular epiphyseal expansion. Right, an anteroposterior view of the ankle taken 4 years later at age 71/2. Note the continued enlargement of the fibular epiphysis and the intra-articular exostosis from the talus.
