Fig. 8A–G.

(A) The anteriorposterior and (B) lateral radiographs show oblique, slightly comminuted fractures of the tibia and fibula. There is initial valgus deformity but minimal shortening. (C) Radiographs were obtained after initial stabilization with the patient wearing an above-knee cast and then (D) a brace, respectively. The initial shortening was accepted. (E) The anteriorposterior and (F) lateral radiographs show the healed fractures with a mild varus angular deformity. (G) A photograph of the patient’s legs show some residual atrophy of the musculature. The cosmetic appearance of the fractured extremity was satisfactory.
