Background

Whereas arthroscopic arthrodesis of the ankle is commonplace and of the subtalar joint is established, reports of arthroscopic talo-navicular fusion are a rarity.

Aim

To review a case series to establish if arthroscopic talo-navicular arthrodesis is a feasible surgical option.

Introduction:

In a consecutive series of 71 arthroscopic subtalar arthrodeses performed between 2004 and 2011, 14 also involved arthroscopic decortication of the talonavicular joint (double arthrodesis) and 4 the subtalar, talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints (triple arthrodeses).

Methods:

We examined complications, union rates in all 18 patients and clinical outcomes in 16 for whom this was the sole procedure.

Background

Bioresorbable materials offer the potential of developing fracture fixation plates with similar properties to bone thereby minimising the “stress shielding” associated with metal plates and obviating the need for implant removal. Phosphate glass fibre reinforced (PGF)-polylactic acid (PLA) composites are bioresorbable and have demonstrated sufficient retention of mechanical properties to enable load bearing applications.

Aim

To determine the potential in vivo “stress shielding” effects of a novel PGF reinforced PLA composite plate in an animal model.

Background

Bioresorbable materials offer the potential of developing fracture fixation plates with similar mechanical properties to bone thereby minimizing stress shielding and obviating the need for implant removal.

Aim

To determine the in vivo degradation profile of a novel phosphate glass fibre composite bioresorbable plate and effects on the underlying bone.
