Abstract
Ankle arthrodesis remains a mainstay for treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Multiple approaches and techniques for tibiotalar arthrodesis are well described and the surgeon should choose the technique based on comfortability, fixation preference, and the state of the surrounding soft tissue. The lateral approach is often utilized due to its familiar anatomic location and shared incisional approach as with a standard distal fibular fracture. This technique guide describes a simplified and reproducible 2-incision lateral approach for the arthrodesis of the ankle joint in treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis.
