| Core Tip |
This retrospective case series evaluates a trans-malleolar tibiotalocalcaneal fusion with biologic augmentation while preserving the fibula for chronic Charcot neuroarthropathy of the ankle. The technique aims to enhance stability, promote fusion, and reduce wound morbidity by avoiding fibular osteotomy and supplementing fixation with orthobiologics. We report limb-salvage, fusion, alignment, and complication outcomes, demonstrating consistent union and acceptable risks in a high-risk cohort. Trans-malleolar tibiotalocalcaneal fusion with fibular preservation is a pragmatic, tissue-sparing option for complex Charcot neuroarthropathy ankles. |
