متن کاملAnkle arthrodesis for failed total ankle replacement.
Between 1999 and 2005, 23 failed total ankle replacements were converted to arthrodeses. Three surgical techniques were used: tibiotalar arthrodesis with screw fixation, tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with screw fixation, and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with an intramedullary nail.

A successful arthrodesis was achieved at a mean of three months (1.5 to 4.5) in all patients e...

The purpose of this study was to compare patients barefoot and with footwear. METHODS We compared 126 patients (total ankle replacement 28, ankle arthrodesis 57, and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis 41) with 35 healthy controls in three conditions (b...
