Abstract:
Injuries to the ankle or various disease in ankle are one of the most common musculoskeletal problem. The ankle is amazingly tolerant to at least minor anatomic disruption. But in situation of severed ankle it is the anxious problem to solve the pain, disability and so on. Since past time, ankle fusion can solve the pain problem, and there is little disabiiity from walking on standard surfaces, comparing the ankle arthroplasty. So we analyse 48 cases of the ankle fusion at Wonju Christian Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine for ten years. The results are summerized as follows: l. Applying method for fusion are distraction-compression bone graft arthrodesis, Charnley compression method, extraarticular arthrodesis, anterior sliding graft-21, 16, 2 and 9 cases respectively. 2. Post-operative complications are wound infection, loss of position of grafted bone, skin necrosis, fracture of the grafted bone and phlebitis
