Factors influencing successful bone union of isolated subtalar arthrodesis for posttraumatic subtalar arthritis: a multicenter case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to find the factors influencing successful bone union for isolated subtalar arthrodesis in posttraumatic subtalar arthritis following calcaneal fracture.

Material and methods

We retrospectively analyzed the rate of successful bone union of 119 cases of isolated subtalar arthrodesis for posttraumatic subtalar arthritis performed at five university hospitals between January 2010 and December 2019. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to find the factors associated with successful bone union. Successful bone union was defined as resolution of hindfoot pain with the presence of osseous trabecular bridging involving more than 50% of the posterior facet within 6 months postoperatively.

Results

There were 77 (64.7%) case
