3 Preoperative Problem List
1.
The chronic dislocation of the left foot
2.
Pseudarthrosis of medial malleolus and traumatic deformity of lateral malleolus
3.
Vascular and neurological disorders
4 Treatment Strategy
Osteotomy of lateral malleolus and applying hexapod software (Ortho-SUV Frame) for gradual correction estimated 18 days long (according to software calculation) to reduce the dislocation
Staged ankle arthrodesis using locking nail
5 Basic Principles
1.
The use of external fixation provides the ability to reduce the dislocated ankle gradually with minimal trauma.
2.
The use of computer-assisted Ortho-SUV Frame provides a precise, one-step gradual reduction of the joint.
3.
The early conversion to internal nailing provides rigid compression fixation without the need for a bulky and uncomfortable external frame.
