Pediatric Medial Malleolus Reconstruction and Cartilage Preservation Using Iliac Crest Bone Graft After Ankle Trauma: A Case Report.

CASE: This case report describes cartilage preservation and medial malleolus reconstruction using tricortical iliac crest autograft in a pediatric patient who sustained an ankle injury resulting in near-complete medial malleolus bone loss.

CONCLUSION

Medial malleolar bone loss precluding open reduction and internal fixation is a challenging surgical problem, and there are few studies describing treatment. Our case report adds to the literature because our described technique resulted in a successful outcome for this patient.
