“…Similarly, untreated bimalleolar malunion has been successfully treated using bimalleolar reconstructive osteotomy more than 8 months from the initial injury [ 6 ]. In that case, the medial malleolus was corrected first due to severe angular deformity, followed by correction of the lateral malleolus.…”

Treatment of chronic symptoms caused by a malunion is a difficult problem in orthopedic surgery. We encountered a case of ankle malunion at our hospital about 1 year after the first operation. The patient had been unable to walk with weight-bearing but regained the ability to walk after reconstructive osteotomy of the fibula. Functional scores for the foot and ankle were significantly improved after intervention. Reconstructive osteotomy appears to represent a good option for ankle malunion.
