Özet

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.
