Optimizing Outcomes in Distal Tibial Deformity Correction: The Role of Supramalleolar Osteotomy with Computer‐assisted Hexapod External Fixator
In conclusion, comprehensive preoperative planning of SMO combined with either internal fixation or a hexapod external fixator for treating distal tibial deformities can achieve satisfactory outcomes. The utilization of a computer-assisted hexapod external fixator facilitates a gradual and precise correction process, which proved to be an effective and relatively safe method.
