All procedures were performed by a single experienced orthopedic surgeon without formal joint debridement. After reaming, four joint surfaces\u2014calcaneal posterior facet (CPF), talar posterior facet (TPF), talar dome (TD), and tibial plafond (TP)\u2014were dissected and digitally analyzed using ImageJ software to measure total and reamed areas.
