【 摘 要 】

Category:HindfootIntroduction/Purpose:Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis with bulk femoral head allograft has previously been reported as a way to fill large osseous hindfoot deficits in order to restore limb length, but few studies have been performed evaluating outcomes and prognostic factors. The purposes of this study were to assess functional and radiographic outcomes after TTC arthrodesis with femoral head allograft and retrospectively identify prognostic factors.Methods:A retrospective review of patients undergoing TTC arthrodesis with bulk femoral head allograft performed at an academic institution by a single fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon between 2004 and 2015 was conducted. Patient charts and operative reports were reviewed for patient and procedural variables, respectively. Radiographic union was assessed at the ankle and subtalar joints by another fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon not involved in any patient’s surgical care. Radiographic stability, defined as proper maint...
