“…TT is mainly a technical matter, and not typically related to patients' outcome. However, STJC is more likely having impact on patient's outcome . Unfortunately, according to the current study, it is hard to obtain STJC measurement reliably.…”

ObjectiveTo determine the value of Böhler's angle (BA) in a group of Chinese people, analyze possible factors that influence it, and compare BA with that in previous literature.MethodsA total of 143 cases, aged from 4 to 79 years, were enrolled in the study, including 64 males and 79 females (79 left feet and 64 right feet). Radiographs were independently measured by six observers. Age, sex, body side, subtalar joint congruity (STJC), and X‐beam obliquity (TT) were recorded. The database was assessed based on intraobserver agreement, data distribution, the randomness of case selection, and the ratio equality of binomial variables. Then, the normal value of BA was established, as well as the correlation between BA and other parameters.ResultsIn the present study, the interobserver reliability of BA, STJC, and TT was excellent. The BA data revealed a normal distribution, and the randomness of case selection was verified for age, sex, and body side. The ratio of sex and body side was equal. Homogeneity of variance was observed when comparing the value of BA between different groups. The value of BA was 31.6° ± 5.19° (range, 20.08°–47.19°), which was not related to age, sex, body side, and minor X‐ray beam obliquity. BA application was not suitable for individuals younger than 10 years. The mean value of BA in this study was not identical with those in previous reports. This demonstrated that BA varies for different races.ConclusionFor Chinese people, 30° to 33° is recommended as the target value of BA for calcaneal fracture reduction, except in children under 10 years of age.

“…Faraj and Loveday found good functional outcomes in terms of daily and sports activities 26 . Romeo et al reported that only 66% of their patients were active in recreational sports before their isolated subtalar fusion; this increased to 73% postoperatively, with high overall patient satisfaction 27 .…”

“…Subtalar arthrodesis has been considered the most successful method for treating calcaneal malunion, traumatic subtalar arthritis, primary OA, rheumatoid arthritis, and hindfoot deformity, with low incidence of complications. The operative techniques of subtalar arthrodesis are as follows: (i) Selection of incision: When performing in situ arthrodesis, selecting the sinus tarsi incision; when performing distraction arthrodesis, selecting the lateral malleolus incision.…”

Objective To explore the feasibility of 3D printed customized guides assisting the precise drilling of Kirschner wires in subtalar joint arthrodesis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 29 patients (30 subtalar joints) who underwent subtalar joint arthrodesis between 1 July 2013 and 31 December 2017. The customized guides were designed on a full‐scale 3D polylactic acid model made from computed tomography (CT) data of patients by Model Intestinal Microflora in Computer Simulation (MIMICS) software, which were manufactured by 3D printing technology. A total of 14 joints used customized guides (experimental group); the remained 16 joints used the traditional method (control group). The time of drilling the Kirschner wires to the correct position, the time of subtalar fusion, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, and complications were evaluated in both groups. Results All customized guides were successfully manufactured. In the experimental group, it took 2.1 ± 0.7 min to drill the Kirschner wire to the satisfactory position, and 2 cases needed to be re‐drilled; in the control group, it took 4.6 ± 1.9 min to drill the Kirschner wire to the satisfactory position (P < 0.05), and 8 cases needed to be re‐drilled. No serious complications occurred in both groups during and after the surgery. Postoperative radiographic fusion was confirmed in all cases. No significant difference was observed in the fusion time and AOFAS scores 1 year postoperatively between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion It is safe to apply 3D‐printed customized guides for subtalar joint arthrodesis, which can assist the accurate drilling of Kirschner wires into the appropriate position according to the preoperative plan, and reduce the operation time as well as intraoperative radiation.
