Long-term results of in situ subtalar arthrodesis.

Isolated subtalar disorders often require subtalar arthrodesis. In this retrospective study of 28 in situ subtalar arthrodeses reviewed with a median follow-up of 56 months (range, 20-115), the authors attempted to detail the outcomes of in situ subtalar fusion, the consequences on adjacent joints and to determine clinical or radiological factors of failure. Clinical evaluation was realised with the AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) ankle hindfoot score.

Distal tibia fractures: management and complications of 101 cases.

Distal tibia fractures are complex injuries with a high complication rate. In this retrospective and multicentre study we attempted to detail complications and outcomes of this type of injury in order to determine predictive factors of poor results. Between 2002 and 2004, 104 patients were admitted for 105 distal tibia fractures.
