Reconstruction of the Medial Malleolus With Iliac Crest Autograft After Traumatic Loss: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connector 2024 April 2
CASE: A 19-year-old woman sustained an open ankle fracture with complete destruction of the left medial malleolus and significant soft-tissue loss. After temporizing external fixation and coverage with a rotational posterior tibial artery perforator flap, the medial malleolus was reconstructed with an autologous iliac crest bone graft and direct repair of the deltoid ligament. The patient achieved excellent improvement in functional outcomes at 21 months with adequate restoration of ankle motion.
CONCLUSION: This case shows reconstruction of the medial malleolus with autologous iliac crest bone graft after traumatic loss can be a viable treatment option for young patients.
