This technique involves two 1.5-cm incisions, one medial and one anterolateral, through which the ankle joint cartilage and synovium are debrided. Subchondral bone resection is completed with a high-speed cutting tool, creating a \u201cslurry\u201d that is saved for local bone graft. The ankle is then appropriately positioned (5\u00b0 of valgus, 0\u00b0 of dorsiflexion, and neutral rotation), cannulated screws are inserted, the position is checked fluoroscopically, and the wound is closed. The patient receives a short leg cast at 2 weeks and a walking cast at 3 to 5 weeks until there is radiographic and clinical evidence of solid arthrodesis. In our 15 patients, follow-up ranged from 12 to 19 months after surgery and arthrodesis was radiographically evident at a mean of 6.0 weeks (range, 3\u201315 weeks). Complications were limited to a transient synovitis in 7\/15 patients, which lasted approximately 3 weeks and was possibly related to the bone slurry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Although ankle joints with marked malalignment require a more extensive open arthrodesis procedure, this miniarthrotomy technique offers decreased soft-tissue insult, decreased bone stripping, easy application, and rapid healing time for the treatment of severe degenerative changes of the ankle with minimal deformity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079601700502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,3]],"date-time":"2013-03-03T03:31:12Z","timestamp":1362281472000},"page":"247-252","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":81,"title":["Ankle Arthrodesis: Results after the Miniarthrotomy Technique"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Guy D.","family":"Paremain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stuart D.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark S.","family":"Myerson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1996,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/0147-7447-19901101-11"},{"key":"bibr2-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.68B2.3958013"},{"key":"bibr3-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.38B4.862"},{"key":"bibr4-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198769070-00014"},{"key":"bibr5-107110079601700502","volume-title":"Triangular Compression Device.","author":"Calandruccio R.","year":"1985"},{"key":"bibr6-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197456010-00007"},{"key":"bibr7-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197860020-00001"},{"key":"bibr8-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.33B2.180"},{"key":"bibr9-107110079601700502","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-196345030-00004"},{"key":"bibr10-107110079601700502","first-page":"709","volume":"20","author":"Cierny G.","year":"1989","journal-title":"Orthop.
