Actualización en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la artrosis de tobillo grado III

Abstract

The tibiotalar joint is a cylindrical hinge formed by the distal parts of the tibia and fibula, forming a groove into which the dome of the talus fits, producing flexion-extension movements of the ankle joint. Osteoarthritis of the tibial joint is characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, subchondral deposits, and osteopenia at the edges. The continuous anatomical and functional deterioration of the joint, causing pain, mobility problems and disability, is one of the main reasons why people go to the emergency room. There are many different approaches and methods for internal surgical fixation of broken bones, but there are also many cases of postoperative complications that can lead to morbidity and reduced quality of life.
