Anterior Double Plating for Rigid Fixation of Isolated Tibiotalar Arthrodesis

Abstract

The anterior double plating system was shown be a reliable method to achieve solid isolated tibiotalar arthrodesis, even in ankles with difficult conditions such as loss of bone stock due to failed total ankle arthroplasty.

Inferior Results of Salvage Arthrodesis After Failed Ankle Replacement Compared to Primary Arthrodesis

“…This can be achieved by adding surgeries (eg, osteotomies, ligament reconstructions) 2,6,7,10,12,21,24,35,37 or simple component exchange. 2,9,11,18,20,21,23,27,29,31,36,39 However, there will always be patients who are not amenable to this kind of treatment and conversion to an arthrodesis can be considered.…”

Corrective arthrodeses and osteotomies for post-traumatic hindfoot malalignment: indications, techniques, results

“…In both the anteroposterior and lateral views, the centre of the talar dome should line up with the centre of the tibial axis [23,[25][26][27]. Arthrodesis is achieved with two to five large fragment (6.5-7.3 mm) cancellous screws, or plates [8,24,28,29].…”

Ankle Arthrodesis With Three Cancellous Screws

“…частота фор-мирования анкилоза при лечении предложенной методикой составила 100%, что соответствует последним данным, приводимым в литературе -87-100% [14,[22][23][24]. у 20 (88%) больных анкилоз голеностопного сустава наступил на 10-й нед., что также соответствует данным, представлен-ным в литературе [10,19,20,24].…”

“…несмотря на активную разработку новых спо-собов лечения посттравматического деформиру-ющего артроза голеностопного сустава, артродез в ряде случаев является единственным возмож-ным вмешательством, позволяющим устранить боль, патологическую установку конечности и вос-становить ее опороспособность. поэтому артродез многие авторы считают «золотым стандартом» ор-топедии [8][9][10][11].…”
