            | Abstract |  
            | We prove that two 
-blocks
 of (possibly different) finite groups with a common minimal nonabelian defect group
 and the same fusion system are isotypic (and therefore perfectly isometric) in the
 sense of Broué. This continues former work by Cabanes and Picaronny
 (J. Fac. Sci. Univ. Tokyo Sect. IA Math. 39:1 (1992), 141–161), Sambale
 (J. Algebra 337 (2011), 261–284) and Eaton et al. (J. Group Theory 15:3 (2012),
 311–321).
