#arthrodesis

Example of open reduction and internal fixation combined with primary subtalar arthrodesis in a 76-year-old male. Lateral radiographs a) preoperatively, b) immediately postoperatively, and c) six months postoperatively. The patient fulfilled the following of Schepers’ criteria: Böhler angle < 0°, age > 65 years, and with comorbidities.

ORIF combined with subtalar arthrodesis provided good rates of subtalar union and good functional outcomes, with results similar or better than those following ORIF alone or delayed arthrodesis.
