title: Subtalar arthrodesis by cancellous grafts and metallic internal fixation.
abstract: A technique of subtalar arthrodesis by means of metallic internal stabilisation and autogenous cancellous bone grafting is described. Of forty-eight feet with mobile pes planus treated by this method forty-five gained union after an average of seven and a half weeks in a below-knee weight-bearing plaster, and forty-three had satisfactory correction of the deformity.
