Fibular Intra Articular Resection During Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis

Fibular Intra Articular Resection During Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis Ankle arthrodesis is still considered the gold standard in the treatment of advanced painful ankle osteoarthritis. more than 3 decades ago, it was performed under arthroscopy; thereafter, many authors have reported excellent results and a low complication rate. despite the significant improvements in surgical techniques, nonunion remains a problematic and relatively frequent event. this is one. In this article, we describe the arthroscopic technique to perform a fibular intra articular resection during arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis, joining the benefits of arthroscopic minimal invasiveness to the full joint contact gained after such a fibular osteotomy. in our opinion, this would be the only way through which full contact between the.

Pdf Fibular Intra Articular Resection During Arthroscopic An The main phases of fibular intra articular resection (fire) during arthroscopic arthrodesis in a right ankle in a patient with severe idiopathic tibiotalar arthritis. with the patient in the dorsal position, the main skin landmarks are identified. To perform fibular intra articular resection, the burr is initially placed just anterior to the fibula that is covered by fibrous tissue (a); then, a linear superficial cut on the articular aspect. Ten years ago, a fibular resection during ankle arthrodesis was, for the first time, described in the literature as a means to correct malalignment in varus cases. nowadays, we perform a similar technique during all arthroscopic ankle arthrodeses, regardless of the kind of preoperative deformity (varus, valgus, or normal alignment).
