Schematic of novel “double-strut” fibular reconstruction—the non-vascularized fibular shaft harvested from contralateral limb is inserted to tibia canal and talus, served as intercalary spacer, which parallels to the ipsilateral fibula. The iliac crest serves as adjuvant graft can be placed between two fibulas to enhance ankle bone union. The talus, ipsilateral fibula, and plate make up a triangle of stability
