Arthroscopic Contribution of Synthetic Graft in Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthroscopic Fusions

Abstract

Nonunion is a frequent complication of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. The risk of nonunion increases significantly for those patients with systemic comorbidities and smokers. The purpose of this article is to show the proper way to supplement our arthroscopic fusion surgeries with biomaterial (peptide-15) graft. We have achieved an increase in consolidation rates in complex patient cases. We can conclude that this is a simple and reproducible technique.
