“…In our population, a mean AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score of 66 (standard deviation (SD) ±12) was reported. Our AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot score is comparable, although somewhat inferior, to those reported in other studies [1,4,6,7,8,9,20,24,29,30,35]. Unfortunately, we do not have an explanation for this.…”

A total of 30 ankle fusions in 26 patients were analyzed. Mean age at fusion was 50 years (range 11-72.1 years). Mean follow-up time was 9.2 years (3.4-18.8 years). Radiological and clinical fusion in 28 (93%) of the primary arthrodeses. The mean American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot score was 66 ± 12. Of the 26 patients, 22 (85%) were satisfied. Deep wound infection occurred once (3%). No other serious complications were encountered. The described technique provides reliable long-term follow-up results for a wide range of indications for ankle fusion.

Clinical and biomechanical trials have shown that rigid internal fixation during ankle arthrodesis leads to increased rates of union and is associated with a reduced infection rate, union time, discomfort and earlier mobilisation compared with other methods. We describe our technique of ankle arthrodesis using anterior plating with a narrow dynamic compression plate (DCP). Between 2004 and 2007, 29 patients with a mean age of 24.4 years (range 18-42) had ankle arthrodesis using an anteriorly placed narrow DCP. Twenty-two patients were post-traumatic and seven were paralytic (five after spine fracture and two after common peroneal nerve injury). Follow-up was between 12 and 18 months (average 14 months). A rate of fusion of 100% was achieved at an average of 12.2 weeks. According to the Mazur ankle score, 65.5% had excellent, 20.7% good and 13.8% fair results. Ankle arthrodesis using an anteriorly placed narrow DCP is a good method to achieve ankle fusion in many types of ankle arthropathies.

“…In many other series with excellent results the surgery has been performed by a single surgeon or in a specialised unit. 8,9 Similar techniques performed by other surgeons have shown less reliable results. We gained a rate of fusion of 94% with anterior AO Tplate-fixation for ankle arthrodesis.…”

We describe a surgical technique for ankle arthrodesis using an anterior approach to the ankle and internal fixation with an anteriorly-placed AO T plate.A total of 33 patients who had ankle arthrodeses have been followed retrospectively. Thirty-one (94%) of the ankles fused although two patients developed tibial stress fractures. Four patients had a superficial infection which did not prevent union.The surgical technique is simple, easily reproducible and gives excellent clinical results with a high rate of union.J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 1999;81-B:113-6.
