Tibiofibular arthrodesis for malunion of the talocrural joint

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.
