Abstract

Supramalleolar osteotomies are performed to realign the distal tibia and to improve foot and ankle function. This procedure requires a thorough preoperative and intraoperative understanding of limb-deformity parameters and of the center of rotation of angulation method of surgical planning. Radiographic, gait, and clinical analyses along with intraoperative fluoroscopic images are paramount to deformity correction. This article describes the radiographic and clinical analyses and technical considerations in performing a focal dome supramalleolar osteotomy. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 95(1): 72–84, 2005)
