Seven-Year-Old Male with Lower Limb Reconstruction and Lengthening due to Type IV Tibial Deficiency, Foot Equinus and LLD
摘要
Seven-year-old male with type IV tibial deficiency and severe rigid equinovarus foot deformity underwent sequential limb reconstruction involving minimal soft tissue release and tendon Achilles lengthening, gradual soft tissue stretching and translation of the foot distally, acute correction of foot equinus deformity and internal rotation, followed by tibiotalar fusion in plantigrade position with fibular fixation and separate tibial/fibular osteotomies followed by acute tibial varus deformity correction using circular external fixation.
