Recent reports highlight a high rate of failure with the use of femoral head allograft. Additionally, higher rates of failure have been reported in diabetics and smokers. Our institution attempted a novel technique utilizing fresh allograft talus in attempt to improve on a reported 50% nonunion rate.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Five patients who underwent tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion utilizing fresh talar allograft were clinically and radiographically reviewed to evaluate fusion rates and functional outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Our case series of 5 patients had a 100% union rate, including 2 former smokers and 2 diabetic patients. There were no infections or complications. Functional outcomes also improved in our series of patients postoperatively as noted by their FAAM and SF-36 scores.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n TTC fusion using fresh allograft talus has a higher union rate than reported with femoral head allograft. This case series requires further study to evaluate whether this technique can be used beyond patients with osteonecrosis of the talus.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n Level IV, case series.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2473011419834541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,3]],"date-time":"2019-05-03T18:36:13Z","timestamp":1556908573000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Case Series: Allograft Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis Utilizing Fresh Talus"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6181-8039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua","family":"Vaughn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"Kenneth W.","family":"DeFontes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brigham & Women\u2019s Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cornelia","family":"Keyser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brigham & Women\u2019s Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric M.","family":"Bluman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brigham & Women\u2019s Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeremy T.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brigham & Women\u2019s Faulkner Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100714531231"},{"key":"bibr2-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197860020-00001"},{"key":"bibr3-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100718761036"},{"key":"bibr4-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715620895"},{"key":"bibr5-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1938640015593079"},{"key":"bibr6-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100713488765"},{"key":"bibr7-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070502601113"},{"key":"bibr8-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100714558506"},{"key":"bibr9-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005650-199206000-00002"},{"key":"bibr10-2473011419834541","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100717696252"}],"container-title":["Foot & Ankle Orthopaedics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2473011419834541","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/2473011419834541","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2473011419834541","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T21:27:53Z","timestamp":1777411673000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2473011419834541"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/2473011419834541"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/2473011419834541","relation":{},"ISSN":["2473-0114","2473-0114"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2473-0114","type":"print"},{"value":"2473-0114","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,1]]},"article-number":"2473011419834541"}}
