Abstract

A 13 year old male developed tibia valga secondary to a tibial fracture resulting in physeal closure. He was treated with a left tibia and fibula osteotomy with application of multiaxial correcting (MAC) external fixation system for gradual correction of angular deformity and length. In addition, a left distal tibiofibular syndesmosis screw, a left proximal fibular epiphysiodesis, and an anterior and lateral compartment release were performed.

Disclosure: Dr. Davidson is a consultant for Biomet and receives royalties on the MAC external fixator of which he is a coinventor.
