Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

This study presents a novel "V"-shaped osteotomy and internal fixation technique for hallux interphalangeal joint arthrodesis. This method aims to provide intrinsic stability and compression for reproducible fusion results.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Podiatric surgery
Surgical techniques

Background:

Hallucal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis is a common procedure.
Various osteotomies and fixation methods exist for this surgery.
Achieving stable and reproducible fusion remains a goal.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a preferred surgical technique for hallux interphalangeal joint arthrodesis.
To introduce a "V"-shaped osteotomy combined with internal fixation.
To achieve intrinsic stability and compression at the fusion site.

Main Methods:

A novel "V"-shaped osteotomy was utilized.
Internal fixation was applied across the osteotomy site.
The technique focuses on compression and stability.
