Sequelae of inappropriate activity after arthrodesis includes periarticular arthrosis, arthrodesis failure and stress fracture. Some arthrodeses will preclude certain sports because it limits the patient's ability to perform movement vital to the game, for example, ankle arthrodesis preventing basketball players from jumping. Questionnaires were sent to members of the American Orthop\u00e6dic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and to trainers of professional basketball and American football teams. This paper reports on the responses of orthop\u00e6dic foot and ankle surgeons about return to sports participation, after arthrodeses within the foot and ankle, and suggests guidelines for sports participation after an arthrodesis of the lower extremity. A selective sports participation policy is advised. Patients with an ankle or triple fusion should avoid high-impact sports, while those with more distal arthrodeses should be monitored for arthrosis and stress fracture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070202300707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,25]],"date-time":"2015-11-25T01:29:45Z","timestamp":1448414985000},"page":"625-628","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Participation in Sports After Arthrodesis of the Foot or Ankle"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Christopher J.","family":"Vertullo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James A.","family":"Nunley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-107110070202300707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079601700918"},{"key":"bibr2-107110070202300707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079902000902"},{"key":"bibr3-107110070202300707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465980260041001"},{"key":"bibr4-107110070202300707","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659702500624"},{"key":"bibr5-107110070202300707","unstructured":"5.
