Abstract:
Salvage of a failed hindfoot arthrodesis is an extensive undertaking for the surgeon and patient. With increased morbidity and postoperative convalescence and complications, patients must understand the risk involved in this type of revisional surgery. This article provides a systematic approach to revisional hindfoot arthrodeses, focusing on patient evaluation, surgical technique, and postoperative treatment.
