Abstract:
The authors present the use of the AO/ASIF tubular system for isolated subtalar arthrodesis. Internal and external fixation are both acceptable means of promoting successful arthrodesis. Appropriate patient selection is vital when considering external fixation. Indications, operative technique, and a discussion are included as well as two case studies.
