Foot Ankle Int. 2007 Aug;28(8):865-872   Mologne TS, Ferkel RD   ABSTRACT   BACKGROUND: Osteochondral lesions of the tibia are much less frequent than those of the talus, and treatment guidelines have not been established. We hypothesized that arthroscopic treatment methods used for osteochondral lesion of the talus would also be effective for those of … Read more

Acta Orthop Scand. 1963;32:476-484 Jansek K    ABSTRACT               The technique of talotibial arthrodesis via transmalleolar approach and application of the Charnley compression apparatus is described. The results in 25 cases are reported. Primary union was obtained in all but one case, and in this one case the defective healing was apparently due to … Read more

Acta Orthop Scand. 1966;37(4):409-414   Kivilaakso R, Langenskiöld A, Salenius P   ABSTRACT   Fifty-five patients on whom talocrural or pantalar arthrodesis had been performed as a treatment for post-fracture conditions were re-examined. Various methods of arthrodesis were used. Good results were achieved in 43 cases, satisfactory in 5 and poor in 7. These are … Read more

Foot Ankle Int. 1998 Jan;19(1):3-9   Mann RA, Rongstad KM   ABSTRACT   BACKGROUND/METHODS: Arthrodeses of 81 ankles performed by a single surgeon were reviewed after a 12- to 74-month follow up.   RESULTS: Average time to union was 13.8 weeks, and 71 (88%) of 81 ankles healed without a second surgery. Ten (12%) of … Read more

Foot Ankle Int. 1999 Aug;20(8):491-496   Perlman MH, Thordarson DB   ABSTRACT   BACKGROUND: Between July 1992 and April 1996, 88 ankle fusions were performed at our institution. Sixty-seven of these had adequate follow-up for evaluation for union of the fusion, including adequate records and/or radiographs. The average age of patients was 43 years. There … Read more

Foot Ankle Int. 1997 Jun;18(6):330-334   Patterson BM, Inglis AE, Moeckel BH   ABSTRACT   BACKGROUND: The results using the anterior sliding graft technique with rigid internal fixation for tibiotalar arthrodesis were reviewed.   METHODS: The indications for anterior sliding graft technique included posttraumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pseudarthrosis following prior attempt at arthrodesis, and postinfectious … Read more

Foot Ankle Int. 2008 Jan;29(1):3-9   Piriou P, Culpan P, Mullins M, Cardon JN, Pozzi D, Judet T   ABSTRACT   BACKGROUND: The improving survivorship of ankle replacements is making this an increasingly popular option in the treatment of ankle arthritis, rather than the established option of ankle fusion. The potential benefits of restoring movement, … Read more

Acta Orthop Scand. 1991;62(6):538-543   Morana CG, Pindera LM, Smith SR   ABSTRACT   We have reviewed the results of 30 ankle arthrodeses performed on 26 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This procedure was associated with a high morbidity, with wound breakdown and infection occurring in 12 cases. Eighteen ankles had fused, six had pain-free fibrous … Read more

Acta Orthop Scand. 1996;67(5):473-478   Chen YJ, Huang TJ, Shih HN, Hsu KY, Hsu RWW   ABSTRACT   Tibiotalar arthrodesis by an anterior approach, using internal compression with cancellous screws, offers wide exposure, good possibilities of correcting deformities, and good bony apposition. From 1987 to 1991, we used this technique in 42 ankle joints (40 patients). The indications were … Read more
