Abstract
Introduction: Patients rst consult traditional healers and it is when the signs persist that they consult the surgeon for a swollen and painful ankle. Initially we always performed anatomical repairs with osteosynthesis, but the majority of patients still complained of pain and disability. We therefore performed an arthrodesis on neglected post-traumatic ankles. The objective of our study was to describe the result of arthrodesis ankle using TTC (tibiotalocalcaneal) nail on a neglected post-traumatic ankle and to propose a therapeutic indication in the face of any neglected ankle fracture. This was a case of 38/m with 3 months old neglected trimalleolar ankle fr Material and Method: acture with early arthritis treated with ankle arthrodesis using ttc nail. Follow up taken over 3 months by serial x-rays and clinical evaluation. The average follow-up was 3 months and our results were satisfactory radiologically and Results: clinically. Discussion: Arthrodesis with ttc nail appears here as an important alternative in the treatment of neglected ankle fractures with early changes of arthritis
