A 20-year-old male was in a car accident where his car hit a tree at high speed. He suffered multiple traumatic injuries including a brain contusion, lung injury, fractures to his hand, femur, and tibia. His femur fracture was open and he underwent external fixation. Over a year later, his leg fractures had healed but he had malalignment in his femur with 12 degrees of valgus and rotational problems, causing severe ankle pain. He underwent corrective osteotomy to address the malalignment issues.
