Abstract

1. Three pantalar, one ankle and subtalar, and three ankle arthrodeses have been performed by a technique, the essential step of which is the insertion of a transarticular graft from below. Union has occurred in four to five months.

2. A method is described of determining the degree of equinus before the operation and securing it during the operation.

3. Pantalar fusion by this technique compares favourably with the methods described so far.
