Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Isolated fibular fractures are often considered innocuous and treated conservatively. They may malunited and predispose the ankle to severe twisting injuries. We present one such case where the patient presented with twisting injury to the ankle. Radiograph revealed a malunited fibula which was high riding. To prevent future such episodes, fibula was pulled down by doing an osteotomy and was stabilised with a plate. The union was uneventful and at final follow up pf two years the patient is symptom free.
