Supramalleolar Osteotomy Using Circular External Fixation with Six-Axis Deformity Correction of the Distal Tibia

Abstract

We feel that supramalleolar osteotomy using circular external fixation with six-axis deformity correction was an effective method for correction of distal tibial deformities in the adult population, particularly for those patients with complex oblique-plane deformities, associated rotational deformity, a compromised soft tissue envelope, or a prior history of infection.
