“…This increases the likelihood of tibiotalar or subtalar joint stiffness, or both 18,[35][36][37][38] . In addition, prolonged use of external fixation is associated with pin-track infection, and the proximity of Schanz pins or fine wires to the joint increases the likelihood of septic arthritis 39,40 . When supplemental internal fixation is required, the risks associated with an open procedure are also present.…”
