Podium Presentation Title: Arthroscopic vs. Open Combined Ankle and Subtalar Fusion Using a Retrograde Tibial Nail

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Complex hindfoot deformity and arthritis often require a combined ankle and subtalar fusion. Many of these patients have risk factors for wound healing such as diabetes. Arthroscopic debridement affords better wound healing and possible improvement of blood supply but can make the achievement of alignment technically challenging. This study compares the outcome of a complex set of patients undergoing arthroscopic and open tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion.
