Abstract
Proper positioning of an ankle arthrodesis is crucial, since it will allow compensatory motion to occur in the rearfoot complex. Arthrosis in the rearfoot can be expected several years after fusion; however, malalignment can potentiate rearfoot arthrosis and lead to a painful and nonfunctional gait.Entities:
