Abstract
Isolated subtalar disorders often require subtalar arthrodesis in combination with bone transplantation for the hindfoot reconstruction. Arthrodesis using an iliac crest bone graft is the standard procedure. We present results after subtalar arthrodesis using an allogenic bone graft. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed on 19 feet preoperatively, 6, 12 weeks and 12 months postoperatively. The AOFAS score of 35 (31-42) points preoperatively improved to 86 (78-90) points 12 months postoperatively. The VAS points of 6 (4-8) preoperatively decreased to 2 (1-2) points 12 months postoperatively. Osseous fusion could be acchieved in all cases. Using allogenic bone graft for subtalar arthrodesis leads to secure integration and avoids iliac crest bone graft morbidity.
