Advances in biomaterials and fixation devices enhance rearfoot surgery. Rigid fixation in tarsal arthrodesis leads to better bone fusion and fewer nonunions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Podiatric Medicine

Background:

  • Surgical procedures for rearfoot conditions have advanced significantly.
  • Biomaterials and fixation devices play a crucial role in surgical outcomes.
  • Complex foot surgery has seen improvements in quality and results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the impact of biomaterial and fixation device advancements on rearfoot surgery.
  • To discuss the role of understanding physical properties in surgical technique.
  • To evaluate the effect of rigid fixation on tarsal arthrodesis outcomes.

Main Methods:
