  Author(s): Jin Woo Jin, Sung Jin Shin* and Jin Woo Kim
  
  Introduction: This study reviewed the outcome of 28 patients with ankle arthritis treated by ankle arthrodesis with autologous bone grafts using a transfibular approach in ankles with end-stage ankle arthritis with 15° or more deformity of the coronal plane. Methods and Materials: Between January 2012 and September 2018, 28 ankle arthrodesis with fibular grafts using transfibular approaches were performed in patients with ankle arthritis with deformities. Varus and valgus deformity of the coronal plane was measured from standing ankle anterior-posterior radiographs and hindfoot alignment angle and hindfoot alignment ratio were measured on hindfoot alignment radiographs. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hind foot scores and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores. Paired t-.. Read More»
