Abstract
A variety of surgical procedures are utilized for management of ankle osteoarthritis. The most common etiology in patients with ankle osteoarthritis is post-traumatic often resulting in asymmetric ankle osteoarthritis with concomitant valgus or varus deformity. A substantial part of tibiotalar joint is often preserved, therefore, in appropriate patients, joint-preserving surgery holds the potential to be a superior treatment option than joint-sacrificing procedures including total ankle replacement or ankle arthrodesis. This review is designed to describe indications and contraindications for single-stage supramalleolar realignment surgery. Complications associated with this type of surgery and postoperative outcome are highlighted using recent literature.
