Category:Ankle, Ankle Arthritis, Hindfoot, Midfoot/ForefootIntroduction/Purpose:Patients with arthritis or severe dysfunction involving both the ankle and the subtalar joints can benefit tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis or total ankle replacement and subtalar fusion. With the evolution of prosthetic design and surgical techniques, total ankle replacement (TAR) has become a reasonable alternative to arthrodesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the fusion rate of the subtalar joint and talonavicular joint in patients simultaneously treated with total ankle replacement (TAR) and subtalar joint fusion.Methods:This study includes 11 patients who underwent primary TAR and simultaneous subtalar and talonavicular fusion from May 2011 to January 2015. Six males and five females were enrolled with a mean age of 61 years (41-75). Patients were clinically assessed preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Total follow-up time was 24.2±11.6 months. Radiographic examination included a postoper...
