Abstract:
There are many types of rigid internal fixation devices available for podiatric surgery. The cannulated screw system is an easy and effective way to decrease surgical time. These screws are being used with great success for several rearfoot procedures, such as the triple arthrodesis, Dwyer calcaneal osteotomy, and posterior malleolar ankle fractures.
