title: [Results of arthrodesis of the ankle joint (author's transl)].
abstract: We present a check-up study of 47 arthrodeses of the ankle joint, partly in combination with an arthrodesis of the subtalar joint. By resection-compression-arthrodesis following Charnley-Horwitz-Adams we reached a bony fusion of the ankle joint in all cases. 83% of our cases showed a good or at least fair result. The remaining patients complained of painful walking in spite of orthopaedic shoes. In these cases a further fusion of subtalar joints especially of the talo-navicular joint should be considered.
