  • Title: [Post-traumatic hindfoot reconstruction--principles and selected examples].
    Author: Klaue K.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 1991 Dec; 48(12):789-95. PubMed ID: 1687181.
    Abstract:
    Besides rheumatoid diseases, fractures are the most frequent cause of painful static problems about the hindfoot. Even when the ankle, the subtalar or the midtarsal joints are not involved directly in the fracture, they likely degenerate secondarily because of the malalignment. The aim is to restore normal morphology of the foot with reorienting arthrodeses using stable internal fixation by screws and cortico-cancellous autologous bone grafts which allow early partial weight bearing. There are three surgical approaches which can be used alone or in combination: antero-medial along the medial column, lateral (Ollier), and postero-lateral along the heel cord.
