Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis: Comparison of Fixation Methods, Mid-Term Clinical Results

CONCLUSIONS Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis is a surgical procedure reserved exclusively for patients indicated based on strict criteria and should be performed by an experienced team able to cope with potential complications. In the followed-up group of patients, the optimal method of fixation for arthrodesis appeared to be the fixation with a retrograde nail and fibula used as a biological plate. Key words: tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, retrograde nail, lateral ankle plate, ankle instability, ankle arthrosis, biological plate.PMID:36322036
