Abstract
This is a case of a complex multiapical deformity of the lower extremity. Three levels of deformity included (1) malunion of the tibia, (2) deformity and arthrosis of the ankle, and (3) deformity, arthrosis, and instability of the knee. All components of the deformity were addressed using osteotomy, arthrodesis, and arthroplasty to provide a comprehensive solution.
