`of the facet joints 0? the sohtalar joint: could be fully visu—
`alizeé. All of the articular cartilage inside of the sohtalsr
`joint was removed to expose {he snhelionairal bone. The
`medial subtalar eapsuloiomy should be done at ihat time to
`allow of distraction. The iliac creet graft, about l.’Z to 1.5

`were accompllished by the wedge bone graft, the fixation
`was made by inserting a ezincellous screw {6.5mrn) from

`
`RESULT
`
`There were 32 patients who were reviewed in this lol-
`
`low~up, in a mean liollowdrp period of 54 months {range
`36 to 78 months). The solid suhtalar fusion was achieved
`
`in 31 patients with a mean fusion time of 8.2 weeks (range
`610 [6 weeks). Only one pznieni zlisplziyed 2: fibrous union
`wirhout the traheeulae crossing the fusion side as seen in
`radiography. The reason for nonunion
`inezlequate deco-
`rtication on the rains. This parieni received secondary sorr
`gery with bone grafting, and achieved solid fusion six weeks
`afier fhe seconrl operation.
`Subjective one objective ratings are surnmarized in
`
`Table l. Snhjeeriveiy, 26 were paimfree after work or ex-
`ercise, 4 had miicl discomfort, 2 had moderate pain; none
`
`had severe pain in any activity. None of the pariems com-
`
`plained oi‘ pain under iateral malleous. There were l6 pa~
`éients who returned to previous work, 8 had {he same job
`with some restriction, and 8 changed jobs. Eight patients
`
`claimed fihe ability of continuing preinjury sporzs; 20 pa»
`rients could run aiowly without pain; 4 patients who could
`walk well, neveriheiess jorngfr not“ run. Twenty-foo: pa-
`tients had no limitation in selecting footwear; however,
`eight patients eouiinued to wear wider shoes. Subjeetively,
`30 of the 32 cases were satisfied with the aurgery. Two
`
`cases rook analgesic meriicine occasionally for hindfoot
`pain; however, they 8§§p£‘r“.(.‘.ial'.€:€i

`
`Ohjectively, four pazients had moderate renéerness
`around the hindfoot. On rhe ealcameocuhoid joinr (2 pa-
`tients) and {he anterior ankle joint (2 cases). The range of
`motion of the ankle joint, as compare to the nninjuried side,
`was 27 cases of more than 85%, 4 cases of 85% to 75%,
`
`of hinrifoot was 26 in valgus
`and l cases of 70%. The
`or neutral, 4 in mild varus, 2 in moderate varus.
`
`Qverall, 28 cases (87.5%) were ralmi as good (16
`cases) to excellent (l2 cases), and 4 ( 22.5%) as fair.
`in the
`
`four patients with fair results, all were due to the severe
`previous injury with stiff joints and marked éefonnity in
`the hindfoot.
`
`By radiographie examination, the average increase of
`the calcaneal height was l.l centimeter in average (range
`0.5 to 38 centimeter).
`iiligure l, & Figure 2} The lateral
`taloeaileaneai angle
`increased ll degrees in average
`
`(range 6 re 28 degrees) (Table 2). From this review, no x-
`rriys films demonstrate the riegenemtive changes in the
`nearby joints of foot.
`"l"here were two superficial wound infection, treated
`by antibiotics. There was no wound disruption nor neu-
`roma formatiori. Four cases had problems with screw irri-
`tation. with two cases of the screw tip penetrating the talar
`neck, inducing anterior ankle pain; the others two cases
`had plantar heel pain at the inlet of the screw. These prob-
`lems subsided when the screw was removed after fusion.

`
`caneus associated with more than erie pathoariatemic
`changes may rm: be etimpletely eurecl by an in site gmlitalar
`atttirodesis. As mentiened above, the collapse of calea~
`meal height with lateral extrusion is the main causative fac-
`10? for the pr<3blems2~‘°‘3“‘27. Disirzttttitm ofthe wbtalar joint
`with a wedge bane graft in the present series is the key te
`solving not only the subtztlar azthritis but also the associ
`
`ateé pml3lems7. Distraction ef the aubtalar joint may
`reestablish ti ttermal relationship of l2il0C£§lC£}Jl€21i joint, in»
`crease the liintif<>0t’s height, tetiuee the talenavieular sub-

`it restores the calezmeal height amd tzarrews the
`heel. Finally, the stthéalztr attfrtrmlesis ablates the arthritic:
`joint between the talus aiéd the posterior faeet of the cal-
`Caneus. Results were repartedly satisfactory in 9 of 10
`treated feet”. Theeretically, the features of this method in

`There has been controversy between suntalnr arthro-

`fractnrosg‘“”‘5"“’~25v3‘t The reasons for performing snlitalar
`arthrodcsis was because the damage of the present cases
`
`involved thc snbtalzir joint alone. A second reason was
`that, by prcsorving the Clropar1"s joint, the motion of tire
`hindfoot complex might be partially saved. Because the
`transverse tarsal joint is not fuseci, after .3 subtalar fusion
`
`with the heel in valgus, the foot is more supple than a foot
`with a triple artl1rodesis7"'77. Triple artlnodcsis was recom-
