Oblique Plane Deformities of Femur and Tibia After Open Fracture Treated with TSF

This case is an example of post-traumatic growth arrest of the distal femur with an unrecognized injury to the tibial tubercle growth plate at the time of the injury. Careful analysis of the radiographs and drawing the joint orientation angles demonstrated that the patient developed a distal femoral valgus and limb length discrepancy as well as a proximal tibia varus and recurvatum deformity. The patient required gradual correction using a six-axis circular external fixator for the tibial and the femoral deformities.
