[Tibio-Calcaneal Arthrodesis with Vertically Placed Tricortical Bone Graft after Traumatic Talar Extrusion - a Case Report]. Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech. 2017;84(6):462-465 Authors: Popelka V, Zamborský R Abstract The aim of this publication is to present a case report of a 38-year-old patient with traumatic astragalectomy and resultant foot reconstruction surgery using a combination of talus compensation by vertically placed tricortical autograft and pantalar arthrodesis with a retrograde calcaneotibial nail (hindfoot nail). The advantage of this treatment is based on a solid, stable osteosynthesis, while maintaining the length of the limb. Key words: traumatic talar extrusion, tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis, hindfoot nail, bone graft, pantalar arthrodesis. PMID: 29351530 [PubMed - in process]
