Aim: To propose a new technique of Ertl-type surgery for significantly shortened and valgus deviated fibula stump.

Methods: We present the case of a 26-year-old patient who underwent reamputation surgery to replace a significantly shortened fibula stump using a distraction regenerate formed after tibial stump osteotomy and dosed distraction of the autograft using the Ilizarov apparatus. Its advantage is the elimination of valgus deviation of the fibula remnant, its lengthening, formation of bone synostosis, and increase of the bearing surface, which provides the possibility of total contact prosthetics.
