Abstract
Reconstruction of malunited or an incongruous talocrural articulation is relatively unrecognized within the literature and few procedures have been described. This article reviews a case of a 36-year-old male who presented with chronic ankle pain, secondary to a malunion of the ankle joint. The case presentation, including surgical treatment and follow-up care, is presented. A review of the literature is also provided.
