Pantalar arthrodesis.
Pantalar arthrodesis creates a sensate prosthesis consisting of the ankle and rearfoot complex. Its primary purpose is to create a plantigrade stable rearfoot and ankle. Special attention must be placed on the technical aspects of this procedure, particularly the positioning of the ankle and subtalar complex.
