This study reviews ankle and pantalar fusion using internal fixation, finding positive outcomes despite potential complications like nonunion and fractures. Modifications aim to improve fusion success rates.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Surgery

Background:

  • Ankle and pantalar fusions are surgical procedures to treat severe ankle arthritis and deformities.
  • Internal fixation is a common method used to stabilize bone fragments during fusion surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on ankle and pantalar fusion.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and complications of internal fixation in ankle and pantalar fusions.
  • To describe and review experience with the Podiatry Institute technique for internal fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 42 ankle and pantalar fusions.
  • Emphasis on the role and techniques of internal fixation.
  • Description of the Podiatry Institute technique.

Main Results:

  • Positive outcomes were observed with internal fixation in ankle and pantalar fusions.
  • Complications included delayed union, nonunion at fusion or osteotomy sites, and tibial fractures.
  • Modifications were discussed to mitigate these complications.

Conclusions:

  • Internal fixation is a successful method for ankle and pantalar fusions.
  • Understanding and addressing potential complications can enhance fusion outcomes.
  • The Podiatry Institute technique shows positive results in clinical experience.
