“…12,13,18 Other retrospective studies using intramedullary nailing for TTCA have shown improved patient outcomes (Table 1). 6,10,18,19,22 Mückley et al, 10 followed up 55 identical arthrodesis nails for a mean of 16 months, achieving 96% fusion rate, satisfaction (91%), and 25% complication rate (shaft fracture, reoccurrence osteomyelitis, DVT, nonunion, and removal of nail). Taylor et al 11 achieved an 83.6% fusion rate at 3.7 months, with 83% good/excellent patient satisfaction and a 17% complication rate (2 below knee amputation, deep infection, and removal of metal ware).…”
