These results demonstrate that plafond-plasty osteotomy associated with lateral ligament reconstruction may be a suitable for patients presenting with intra-articular varus ankle osteoarthritis associated with ankle instability, providing pain relief and better function and stability in most patients.

The healing rate and time to arthrodesis compared favorably to similar published studies. Based on these results, hybrid plating was a reliable and consistent alternative for fixation in midfoot arthrodesis, especially in multi-joint disease.

We believe toe lengthening arthrodesis is a good salvage operation for a flail toe following PIP resection arthroplasty.
