Arthroscopic ankle fusion-Medial face of tibia
The dimensions of the medial face of the tibia need to be appreciated for an arthroscopic ankle fusion. The anterior crest and the immediately medially adjoining 1-2cm of bone are too thick to attempt screw placement and should be avoided.The posterior surface should also be identified and avoided.When the guide wires are placed it is important that the position of the ankle is strictly controlled. The foot is held in neutral in saggital and coronal planes .
