Abstract
In pre-adolescent patients supramalleolar osteotomies have been described to correct deformities following ankle fractures. However, the techniques described involve the harvesting of an iliacal graft. We report on a case of a 14-year-old girl who sustained a complex ankle fracture with a resultant hindfoot varus. The medial opening was maintained by using a plate with a metallic block interposed in the osteotomy plane (Puddu Plate).
