Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of selective arthrodesis (stabilization) of the ankle, subtalar, and talonavicular joints on the rotational movement of the tibia and the calcaneus occurring with dorsiflexion/plantarflexion. Six cadaver foot-leg specimens were investigated using an unconstrained testing apparatus. Simulated ankle joint arthrodesis caused a large increase in tibial rotation and calcaneal eversion-inversion. Subtalar and talonavicular stabilization did not cause as large a rotation.Keywords
