    Abstract:
    In two thirds of our patients there were no complications. All fractures could be healed after osteosynthesis or plaster. At least those patients who had tight pseudarthroses were relatively free from pain on weight-bearing. But 34% of our patients showed severe complications - pseudarthroses and post-operative fractures. The argument in favor of early mobilisation, the mainstay for the choice of this technique of arthrodesis, does not - as our long-term follow-up shows - carry conviction.
