Abstract:
Objective To provide an anatomical basis for repairing the medial malleolus with bone-severed vascularized fibular head epiphysis, and to explore the effect of clinical application with this method. Methods Figures of fibular head and medial malleolus were measured on 20 fresh lower limbs specimens of child age from 2 to 12 years old, then bone-severed formula was deduced. The bone-severed composite fibular head epiphysis to repair the defect of medial malleolus were carried for 6 child patients of emergency or post-poned cases on one stage. Obersved the clinical effect by following-up. Results The angle between fibular head and stem (M) was(170±8)°, angle of fibular head sadacc(N) was (145 ±6)°, length(1.5±0.2)cm and width (1.4±0.2)cm; angle between medial malleolus and stem(1) was(152±8)°, length of the articular surface of medial malholus was(1.25 ± 0.2)cm and width (1.25 ± 0.2)cm. Angle between defect surface and tibia was(Q). Formula: angle of bone-severing X = L-N-Q, and apex at the upper 1/6 of the reversed articular surface of fibular. 6 cases with this method was completed, all healed at stage one, following-up 1 to 3 years, medial malleolos developed well and no epiphysis ossification anticipation, and the ankle joint has no inversion with its loadind and walking function good. Conclusion The fibular head epiphysis and the medial malleolus differ in shape to some extent, but good donor can be got by bone-severing, can repair the epiphysis and soft tissue defect of the medial malleolus at one stage with additional flap, developing with the child at the same time, it is a perfect method to reconstruct the traumatic defect of child medial malleohs.
