[A case of ball-and-socket deformity of the ankle joint].

Abstract

Ayak bileğinin ball-and-socket (BAS) deformitesi, fibüler hipoplazi, metatarsların yokluğu veya füzyonu, tarsal kemiklerin koalisyonu, alt ekstremite kısalığı gibi durumların eşlik ettiği nadir bir deformitedir. Dokuz yaşındaki bir kız çocuğunda sağ alt ekstremitede kısalık, sağ ayakta kavovarus deformitesi, dördüncü ve beşinci metatarsların kaidesinde ve talokalkaneonaviküler eklemde füzyon ile birlikte sağ ayak bileğinde BAS deformitesi saptandı. Hastaya, sağ alt ekstremitesindeki kısalık için 2.5 cm topuk tahsisli ortopedik ayakkabı giymesi önerildi.

Ball-and-socket deformity of the ankle joint is a rare entity that is usually associated with inequality of leg length, fibular hypoplasia, coalition of the tarsal bones, and ray deficiency. This deformity was encountered in a nine-year-old girl with a short right limb, cavovarus foot, partial fusion of the 4th and 5th metatarsals, and talocalcaneonavicular coalition. No surgical intervention was necessary; the patient was recommended to wear a high-heeled shoe of 2.5 cm thickness to compensate for the difference in the leg length.
