Outcome of Tibiotalocalcaneal Fusion with Retrograde Hindfoot Nail

1. The results of the present study suggest that TTCA using a short, retrograde intramedullary nail is a worldwide accepted technique for achieving fusion with minimal complications. However, long-term follow-up is necessary to provide definitive information about topics such as adjacent degenerative arthritis. 2. Tibiotalocalcaneal fusion with intramedullary nail (Hindfoot Nail) resulted in a higher fusion rate, no/minimal infections, lower pain levels, higher quality of life, and quicker return to work. 3. Retrograde intramedullary nailing offers a safe and reliable salvage option and a very viable alternative to amputation in patients with severe ankle and hindfoot pathologies.
