We have a difficult case with a patient who has a TMA with about 20 degrees of fixed varus and a 5 degree plantarflexion contracture. The varus deformity is worse with weight bearing. The patient also has mild genu varum and fluctuating edema. We've tried a custom made chukka height shoe with filler and carbon plate, attached to a metal AFO with a varus corrective strap. The patient developed skin breakdown over the lateral malleolis. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
