Abstract
Osteochondromas arising from the interosseous border of the distal tibia and involving distal fibula are uncommon. Considering its proximity to the ankle joint, early excision of this deforming distal tibial osteochondroma is done to avoid the future risk of pathological fracture of the distal fibula, ankle deformities and syndesmotic complications. We present a 16-year-old young girl with thinning and deformed distal fibula, secondary to an osteochondroma arising from the distal tibia which was managed with transfibular excision of mass and reconstruction of distal fibula using square nail by shoefields technique.Entities:
