  • Title: Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis for arthritis and deformity of the hind part of the foot.
    Author: Russotti GM, Johnson KA, Cass JR.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Am; 1988 Oct; 70(9):1304-7. PubMed ID: 3182883.
    Abstract:
    We devised a method for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis to treat deformities or degenerative arthritis, or both, that involve the tibiotalar and talocalcaneal joints. Satisfactory results were obtained in approximately 75 per cent of twenty-one patients; osseous union was radiographically evident in all but three patients. Secondary degenerative changes in the adjacent joints were not evident radiographically during a period of follow-up that ranged from 2.5 to seven years.
