Abstract:The need for additional fibular osteotomy (FO) when performing supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) in the varus ankle arthritis (VAA) is controversial. Some cadaveric studies have been performed to prove this; however, it is difficult to implement deformities including talar tilting and translation in cadavers. In this study, we created a model of VAA with the tilting and translation using three‐dimensional (3‐D) finite element (FE) analysis and analyzed the results of SMO with or without FO depending on the types … Show more
