Isolated Subtalar Arthrodesis

Isolated subtalar arthrodesis.

The aim of this study is to review the results of isolated subtalar arthrodesis in adults and to make a comparative analysis of the clinical outcomes between the patients with posttraumatic subtalar arthritis and the ones with other etiologic factors, and to evaluate the effects of grafting. This study included 19 men and 12 women. The mean postoperative follow-up was 36.8 months. The mean AOFA...

Subtalar Joint Arthrodesis

The following investigation consists of a retrospective review of more than 50 patients having undergone an isolated subtalar joint fusion for the correction of the multi-planar flatfoot deformity. These results support the notion that the isolated subtalar joint fusion can provide enhanced stability in selected patients with painful flatfoot deformities. Radiographic evaluation & chart review ...

Effects of different customized foot orthoses on isolated subtalar arthrodesis

Background Studies describe subtalar and ankle arthrodesis as a factor altering the biomechanics of the foot during walking [1-3]. Furthermore, foot orthoses (FOs) are also recognized for their actions on the dynamics of the foot [4] but not for their actions on an isolated subtalar arthrodesis (ISA). Previous studies have shown that depending on the type of FOs [5] and along the comfort felt b...

ISOLATED SUBTALAR JOINT ARTHRODESIS: Indications, Evaluation, and Surgical Technique

Isolated subtalar joint (STJ) fusions are performed routinely by many foot and ankle surgeons for various hindfoot pathologies, but were historically avoided due to their potential complications on the adjacent joints (1). Since the inception of this isolated arthrodesis, multiple studies have been undertaken to demonstrate the effects on the surrounding joints. Jouveniaux et al concluded with ...
