  • Title: An Innovative Approach to the Repair of Distal Tibia Nonunion Using a Retrograde Buried Tibio-Talar-Calcaneal Nail: A Case Report.
    Author: Van Steyn P, Romash M.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2017; 56(1):117-120. PubMed ID: 27612414.
    Abstract:
    We report a case using retrograde tibial nailing as treatment of nonunion of a distal tibial osteotomy, which was performed as part of a complex reconstruction of distal tibial malunion with ankle arthritis. Although retrograde nailing has classically been used for tibial-talar-calcaneal arthrodesis, this method spares the subtalar joint. Preservation of some hindfoot motion by subtalar mobility allows for a decrease in the loss of function typically seen with tibial-talar-calcaneal arthrodesis.
