Abstract
Supramalleolar osteotomy is an effective surgical strategy to treat malunion, arthrosis, and congenital deformities about the ankle. Strict adherence to the principles of deformity correction provides reliable limb realignment and redistribution of joint forces without the introduction of secondary deformities. Clinical outcomes support the role of osteotomy as an effective joint preservation procedure with few complications.
