We undertook a prospective study to analyse the
outcome of 48 malunited pronation-external rotation fractures of the
ankle in 48 patients (25 females and 23 males) with a mean age of
45 years (21 to 69), treated by realignment osteotomies. The interval
between the injury and reconstruction was a mean of 20.2 months
(3 to 98). . In all patients, valgus malalignment of the distal tibia and
malunion of the fibula were corrected. In some patients, additional
osteotomies were performed. Patients were reviewed regularly, and
the mean follow-up was 7.1 years (2 to 15). . Good or excellent results were obtained in 42 patients (87.5%)

Progressive angular deformity of an extremity due to differential physeal arrest is the most common late orthopaedic sequela following meningococcal septicaemia in childhood. A total of ten patients (14 ankles) with distal tibial physeal arrest as a consequence of meningococcal septicaemia have been reviewed. Radiological analysis of their
