ABSTRACT
Ankle fusion is a well-studied, classical procedure for conditions affecting the ankle joint, and has a long history with predictable results. Although there are many different approaches available, a few options are commonly used. The two main focuses of modern literature are on anterior plating versus traditional screw fixation, and on arthroscopic versus open techniques for fusion. This article discusses recent literature and then presents cases and techniques that are commonly used today. This includes arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis, traditional transfibular approach, anterior plating, and the indications and application of external fixation. Standard recovery and complications are discussed.
