족관절 유합술 후 발생한 거주상 관절염의 전경골 건 개재 관절성형술: 증례 보고

Abstract

Ankle arthrodesis has been used frequently for end-stage ankle arthritis that does not respond to conservative treatment. On the other hand, there are concerns regarding the degenerative changes to the adjacent joint, such as the subtalar or talonavicular joint, due to the altered biomechanics after the loss of ankle motion. Because the arthrodesis for these midtarsal joints may overload stress on another contiguous joint, a salvage procedure should be considered rather than joint sacrificing. This paper reports a case of talonavicular arthri tis after malunited ankle arthrodesis that was treated with interpositional arthroplasty using the tibialis anterior tendon.
