Results
3 Weeks Post-Surgery:
The patient remained non-weight-bearing.
There were no pain or wound problems noted.
The midline position of the sliding element in
the calcaneal slot indicated that the
Compressive Element had unloaded 4 mm in
response to bone resorption and settling while
still mantaining compression. The cast was
removed and replaced with a Cam boot.
6 Weeks Post-Surgery:
The wounds were well healed and the patient
was experiencing no pain. The radiograph
revealed that the Compressive Element had
unloaded 5 mm in response to resorption and/or
settling while still maintaining compression. A CT
scan was ordered at this point.
8 Weeks Post-Surgery:
The patient was advanced to 50%
weight-bearing in a boot. A CT scan showed
80% fusion across the ankle joint and 60%
fusion of the posterior facet of the subtalar
joint.
