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%)
with the benefit being maintained over time. Congruent
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
