Summary
This study presents an algorithm for treating crippled ankles using ankle arthrodesis. It highlights the complexity of diagnosis and surgical correction due to non-standard pathologies, requiring surgeon expertise.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Foot and Ankle Reconstruction
Background:
- Crippled ankle deformities present complex diagnostic and treatment challenges.
- Lack of standardized pathology and surgical approaches complicates management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a structured algorithm for approaching crippled ankle cases requiring ankle arthrodesis.
- To guide surgeons in managing complex foot and ankle deformities.
Main Methods:
- Development of a surgical algorithm for ankle arthrodesis in complex cases.
- Emphasis on comprehensive understanding of foot and ankle surgical techniques.
Main Results:
- The article outlines a systematic approach to ankle arthrodesis for non-standard deformities.
- Highlights the necessity of advanced surgical skills and knowledge.
Conclusions:

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...

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...
