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 ...

Arthrodesis of the subtalar joint.

Subtalar distraction bone block arthrodesis.

This retrospective study analyses the results of subtalar bone block distraction arthrodesis used in the treatment of late complications of calcaneal fractures, acute severely comminuted fractures, nonunion (and malunion) of attempted subtalar arthrodeses, avascular necrosis of the talus, and club-foot deformity. Of 39 patients (41 feet) who had this procedure, 35 (37 feet) returned for follow-...

A modification of the Grice subtalar arthrodesis.

Extra-articular arthrodesis ofthe subtalarjoint (Grice 1952, 1955) is a satisfactory method of stabilising mobile pes valgus in children. The established procedure is technically difficult, and this may explain a proportion offailures. This paper describes a method of extra-articular subtalar fusion devised by Batchelor and used by him since 1955. It is technically easier and failures of fusion...
