Excerpt

Arthritis of the ankle and the hindfoot are increasingly common problems, with the former particularly being recognized as functionally debilitating as hip arthritis [6]. Although nonoperative measures may allay symptoms in some patients, many others eventually undergo surgery. Numerous approaches are used, all of which call for a balance of mechanical stability and biologic viability to succeed. One of the most common procedures to address concomitant ankle and hindfoot arthritis is a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis. …
