Arthroscopic Ankle Fusion in the Post-Polio Paralytic Foot
Post-polio residual paralysis can lead to severe musculoskeletal issues, including foot deformities and ankle instability, which can progress to end-stage arthritis. These complications cause significant pain and disability, dramatically impacting quality of life. Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a prom...

| Summary: | Post-polio residual paralysis can lead to severe musculoskeletal issues, including foot deformities and ankle instability, which can progress to end-stage arthritis. These complications cause significant pain and disability, dramatically impacting quality of life. Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a promising treatment option for addressing ankle joint dysfunction in post-polio patients. This technique discusses our experience with arthroscopic assisted ankle arthrodesis (tibiotalar fusion) to correct alignment and improve functionality in a post-polio residual paralytic foot. |
