Lateral plate-washer technique for revision tibiocalcaneal fusion.
Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2001 Jul; 30(7):588-90.AJ

Abstract

Tibiocalcaneal fusion using intramedullary rods for severe end-stage Charcot deformity is challenging. Complications such as nonunion, delayed union, recurrent deformity, wound problems, and infection are common. Revision cases present the additional obstacle of obtaining bony purchase in the calcaneal screws. We present a technique using readily available instrumentation to obtain reliable calcaneal fixation.
