Ankle arthrodesis by modified Mann’s technique. Step by step

Abstract

Ankle arthrodesis is still the gold standard in the treatment of end-stage degeneration in the ankle joint. The anatomical surgical approach, correct foot alignment and stable fixation are the factors determining the positive effect of surgery. The study presents the technique of ankle arthrodesis by modified Mann’s technique which meets the above-mentioned criteria with the economical use of implants for its stabilization.
