Isolated talonavicular arthrodesis is a commonly performed surgical intervention. Nonunion is a dreaded complication. The aim of the present study was to analyze the clinical and radiologic outcome of talonavicular arthrodesis using a dual approach with 2-side screw fixation. From February 2012 to September 2014, isolated talonavicular arthrodesis was performed on 17 joints of 16 patients (mean age 59.12 years). All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. The incidence of union, visual analog scale scores, and complications were analyzed. Radiographic union was achieved in all 17 cases (100%) at a mean period of 13.12 weeks. The visual analog scale scores had improved significantly (p < .001) at a mean follow-up of 48.53 weeks. One patient (6%) had minimal wound problems, and one (6%) showed prolonged swelling postoperatively. We have concluded that the dual window approach with 2-side screw fixation for isolated talonavicular arthrodesis results in excellent clinical and radiographic results and high fusion rates.

Müller-Weiss is a disease characterized by deformation, fragmentation and necrosis of the navicular, which presents with midfoot varus and long-standing pain, mostly in females. It is related to delayed ossification due to physical or nutritional stress, associated with abnormal force distribution. There are still few studies on this condition and there is no consensus in the literature on its classification and treatment.

Background: Nonunion after ankle or hindfoot arthrodesis is associated with poor outcomes. Cellular bone allograft is an alternative to autograft for use in these procedures. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the early efficacy and safety of cellular bone allograft use in hindfoot and ankle arthrodesis procedures.
