Abstract
We present a novel operative technique for ankle joint fusion in a case of severe talar bone loss. Fusion was achieved with a trabecular metal spacer combined with a single anterior, anatomically preshaped, angular, stable plate. Excellent postoperative results with good bone consolidation and preservation of lower leg length were present shown at 1 year of follow-up.
