Abstract
We devised a method for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis to treat deformities or degenerative arthritis, or both, that involve the tibiotalar and talocalcaneal joints. Satisfactory results were obtained in approximately 75 per cent of twenty-one patients; osseous union was radiographically evident in all but three patients. Secondary degenerative changes in the adjacent joints were not evident radiographically during a period of follow-up that ranged from 2.5 to seven years.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
