Abstract

A variety of techniques and implants for ankle fusion have been described in literature, with variable results. We report our experience of open arthrodesis of the tibio-talar joint using the Integra plate. We present a retrospective case series of 22 ankle fusions performed in 21 patients between 2014 and 2017. These were performed by a single surgeon specialising in foot and ankle surgery using the Integra plate. Each patient underwent a retrospective case note and x-ray review. Of the 21 patients, 8 were females and 14 were males (1 gentleman had bilateral ankle fusion). The average age at surgery was 60.27 years. All 22 ankle fusions resulted in union. Mean time to union was 12.54 weeks. We conclude that, the use of the Integra 9 Tibiaxis) plate for open arthrodesis of the tibio-talar joint gives reliably good results especially in patients undergoing revision arthrodesis.
