Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Foot and Ankle Reconstruction

Background:

  • Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis is a surgical procedure to fuse the ankle and heel bones.
  • Indications include failed prior surgeries, talar avascular necrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review outcomes of tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis.
  • To assess fusion rates, functional results, and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of nine tibiocalcaneal arthrodeses in eight patients.
  • Analysis of surgical indications, fusion times, final position, and patient-reported outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Complete fusion was achieved in all nine procedures within an average of 5 months.
  • Excellent or good outcomes were reported in seven of nine cases.

  • Complications included infection, malunion, and wound slough.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis can effectively achieve fusion and improve pain and function.
    • It should be considered a salvage procedure due to technical difficulty and complication risks.
