– Preoperative Planning: – Surgical Stratedgy: – pt in true lateral position – J or L approach w/ subperiosteal dissection off lateral wall, including calcaneo-fibular ligament (sural nerve in flap); – extension from tuberosity to calcaneo-cuboid (watch peroneals) – … Read more
– Technique: – stratedgy involves, performing articular surface reduction, and then to secure proximal portion to tibial metaphysis w/ use of lateral butress plate along w/ possible use of medially applied external fixation; – application of lateral plate takes advantage of the better soft tissue envelop on the lateral side of … Read more
