Crossed-Screw Configuration for Subtalar Arthrodesis: Clinical Outcomes of an Alternative Surgical Technique

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the clinical outcomes of a crossed-screw configuration for subtalar arthrodesis, aiming to address the technical challenges associated with traditional fixation techniques. The authors found that this alternative method resulted in high union rates and low complication rates, while also simplifying the surgical process and reducing the need for posterior heel incisions. Overall, the crossed-screw technique demonstrated successful outcomes, making it a viable option for subtalar arthrodesis.
