摘要
A modification of internal fixation compression arthrodesis for ankle fusion is described using two 6.5-mm cancellous bone screws and a lateral T plate. Using this technique, 20 consecutive arthrodeses by one surgeon were reviewed. Solid union was attained in 19 of 20 patients (95%). Average follow-up was 18 months (range 6-59 months). Time to obtain solid arthrodeses averaged 18 weeks. In 11 patients who returned for follow-up, clinical grading using the Mazur scale score averaged 70 of 90 points. Diagnoses included posttraumatic degenerative arthritis, failed ankle arthrodesis and rheumatoid arthritis (2 each), failed ankle arthroplasty, and post-tuberculous arthritis (1 each). Complications included one malunion and one asymptomatic screw malposition. All patients attaining union were pleased with the procedure.
