Neglected Ankle Fracture with Valgus Deformity Treated Successfully in a 70-Year-Old Patient
Here’s a remarkable case managed by Dr. Pradeep Moonot, a renowned Foot & Ankle Surgeon in Mumbai. A 70-year-old woman came to us with a neglected ankle fracture that had gone untreated for over three months. The injury had progressed into a severe valgus deformity, significantly affecting her mobility and daily activities.
To correct the deformity and restore function, Dr. Moonot performed a hindfoot fusion using a TTC (Tibiotalocalcaneal) nail and CC (Cannulated Compression) screws. This advanced surgical approach provided the necessary stability and alignment, allowing her to begin walking again with greater comfort and support.
This case highlights how, even in older patients and delayed presentations, expert surgical care can deliver transformative outcomes. If you or someone you know is living with chronic foot or ankle issues, consult Dr. Pradeep Moonot in Mumbai to explore the right treatment path.
