Background: Hindfoot and ankle fusions are mechanically limiting procedures for patients.
However, patient-reported outcomes of these procedures have not been well studied. This …

Background Research on outcomes after ankle fusion focuses on basic activities of daily
living, fusion rates, and gait parameters. Little has been reported on the patient's perspective …

Background: The aims of this study were to establish the likelihood of additional surgery
after ankle fusion, determine the interval for developing osteoarthrosis in the ipsilateral …

Background: The open anterior approach to ankle arthrodesis offers a technique that
provides several advantages for surgeons, such as easier visualization of the joint for …

Background: With ankle replacements gaining credibility, there is a small subset of patients
who might benefit from a conversion of an ankle fusion to a replacement. The objective of …

Background While successful subtalar joint arthrodesis provides pain relief, resultant
alterations in ankle biomechanics need to be considered, as this procedure may predispose …

Abstract Background/Aim: Triple arthrodesis (TA) is a common procedure for stabilization of
painful and unstable hind foot deformities. The aim of the study was to analyze postoperative …

Background: This study compares the outcomes of patients undergoing total ankle
arthroplasty (TAA) and tibiotalar fusion (ankle arthrodesis) in patients with end-stage …

Background: Ipsilateral hindfoot arthrodesis in combination with total ankle replacement
(TAR) may diminish functional outcome and prosthesis survivorship compared to isolated …

Isolated tibiotalar fusion is the preferred choice for isolated end-stage arthritis, joint
destruction after infection, talar avascular necrosis, Charcot neuroarthropathy, and joint …
