Abstract
Stage II PTT dysfunction is a complex problem that has multiple treatment options. Whether it is treated nonoperatively or operatively, multiple factors affect the success of treatment. The orthopedic literature reports many factors that can lead to failure. Although it is virtually impossible to account for every possible scenario, adhering to sound principles and understanding what can go wrong and why, can help to avoid many of the pitfalls.
