| Abstract: | Lateral malleolus avulsion is uncommon, and fusion of the syndesmosis of the ankle joint is usually performed in such cases. Others have reported successful reconstruction of the lateral malleolus with a vascularized fibular head. A case of reconstruction in a 17-year-old girl, with a free scapular apophysis flap, is presented and compared with alternative flaps available. The anatomy and development of the scapular crest with its cartilaginous apophysis are discussed. |
