Abstract
The transfibular approach is commonly used for hindfoot arthrodesis. Fibula osteotomy with a saw blade and subsequent bone graft preparation can be time-consuming and prolong tourniquet time as well as prevent training opportunities. We describe a simple and reproducible technique to perform fibula osteotomy using an acetabular reamer. Advantages of this technique include reduction in operative time and use of the reamed bone as an autograft in the tibiotalar and talocalcaneal joints to bridge any voids and increase healing capacity.
