Ankle fusion-parallel talar and tibial resection.After parallel tibial and talar resection the
talus should easily be translatable proximally to make good contact with the tibia to allow
ankle fusion. In non deformed
ankles this is generally the case. In significant varus deformities(as with this case) the hypertrophied
medial malleolus will often impinge upon the medial talar body and provide a bony block to reduction.
