Lambotta Bone Suture

**Lambotta Oblique Suture** Lambotta is a special anatomical formation of the lower limb. It was described by the French surgeon Lamotte in 1831. It is a bone flap in the area of ​​the medial edge of the tibia in the popliteal region. Its structure includes a large number of blood vessels, as well as nerves. Its great significance for an orthopedist is that it can lead to chronic forms of leg deformation that lead to disability. The most common form of bone deformity caused by this bone formation is congenital knee luxation.

**Structure and composition of the Lambotta Bone Suture:** The bones adjacent to the scar and forming the Lambotta Suture consist of **several elements**, which are very important: * **Medial tibiofibular suture**. The medial suture was described in detail by Chardin in 1537 and is believed to be the first bone fragment in humans to be identified as such. It connects the inner surface of the knees to the inner edge of the calf. * **Medial supramalleolar spur**. The bone and spur at the medial end of the calf are joined together by its posterior end to form the medial plantar
