Research on the supramalleolar osteotomy combined with soft tissue procedure for the treatment of varus ankle osteoarthritis / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Supramalleolar osteotomy is an important joint-preserving operation in the treatment of varus ankle osteoarthritis, but there are still many controversies in operating procedures. Soft tissue procedure is coming into focus except the bone procedures. The balance of the medial triangular ligament, lateral collateral ligament and Achilles tendon is very important to maintain the stability of the ankle joint. This paper expatiates on this problem in detail, so as to provide a reference for the successful procedure of supramalleolar osteotomy.
