Biomechanical comparison of blade plate and intramedullary nail fixation for tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis.
Foot Ankle Int. 2010; (2): 164-71
Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis is an uncommon salvage procedure used for complex problems of the ankle and hindfoot. A biomechanical evaluation of the fixation constructs of this procedure has not been studied previously. The purpose of this study was to compare intramedullary nail to blade plate fixation in a deformity model in fatigue endurance testing and load to failure.
