Abstract: | The authors present a preliminary prospective study of the Synthes 7.3 mm. cannulated screw used in 31 rearfoot and ankle surgeries on 29 patients. The patients had a variety of rearfoot and ankle procedures performed, in which a total of 75 screws were placed across 47 arthrodesis or osteotomy sites. The percentage of union or healing was 95.74% for the joints or sites involved. The average healing time was 2.71 months. The techniques for placement of the screw are described. |
