Divide the fibula at a slightly higher the leg outwards and so force the fibula into the place prepared for it inthe upper fragment of tibia and push it, like a peg, for a short distance into thespongy bone. Straighten the leg. Fill the dead space left at the point wherethe fibula was transferred with a portion of tibialis anticus muscle. Close thewound. Dress. Immobilize. In time there is liable to be a bowing of thefoot on the fibula causing a deformity. This led Huntington after the lapse of six months to perform a secon
