Anteroposterior mortise radiograph of a right ankle showing the intersection angle (αα) between the tibial plafond and medial malleolus. The bisector of this angle (dashed line) indicates the optimal medial malleolar osteotomy, which is perpendicular to the articular surface. The angle (β) between the osteotomy and the longitudinal tibial axis was assessed as a reference to the osteotomy
