case_images: The open reduction and internal fixation was performed to fix tibia and fibula fractures at other hospital (Figure 1).
case_images: The internal fixation devices were removed 18 months after the initial surgery. The deformity of the right ankle is shown in panel (A), and the range of motion is displayed in panel (B,C). Radiographic measurements revealed that the angles of the tibial articular surface (TAS) and tibial lateral surface (TLS) were 54 and 50 degrees, respectively (D,E). Panel (F) depicts the hindfoot malalignment.

case_images: The internal fixation devices were removed 18 months after the initial surgery (Figure 2), but the patient continued to experience unresolved pain, swelling, and deformity.
case_images: At the 18-month follow-up after the supramalleolar osteotomy, the patient displayed satisfactory hindfoot alignment (A) and range of motion (B,C). Charcot arthritis was detected at the Chopart joint (D,E), although no apparent symptoms were present. Radiographic images demonstrated the satisfactory hindfoot alignment (F).

case_images: Charcot arthritis was detected at the Chopart joint 18 months after the SMO, but no apparent symptoms were present, and an increase in dorsiflexion was noted (Figure 3).
case_images: Three years after the supramalleolar osteotomy, the patient showed satisfactory hindfoot alignment (A) and an adequate range of motion (B,C). Radiographic images revealed the presence of osteophytes anterior to the talus (D,E). The hindfoot alignment remained satisfactory (F).
