Primary Ankle Arthrodesis in Trauma

Abstract
This is a review of three patients who underwent primary ankle arthrodesis for severe ankle trauma. Arthrodesis was performed within the first 3 weeks after injury. The procedure resulted in a functional lower extremity in all cases. We recommend primary or delayed primary ankle fusion when extensive bone loss or comminution and severe soft tissue injury are present.
