Allograft Bone-Block Plantarflexion First Tarsometatarsal Arthrodesis: Short-term Outcomes
Although the first-TMT bone-block arthrodesis restored many markers associated with foot collapse and alignment, the clinical nonunion rate was 11.9%, which is in the top range of the literature for TMT fusions. The use of allograft wedges can explain our findings. Tomographic healing, initially 86.4% at 3 months, decreased to 66.7% at the most recent follow-up.
