摘要
Subtalar arthrodesis in addition to ankle arthrodesis (AA) should have effect on foot motion and functional capabilities pertaining to activities of daily living (ADL); however, it is not well characterized. We compared the foot range of motion and ADL-related functional capabilities between patients who had undergone AA and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTC). Twenty-one AA patients and 10 TTC patients were enrolled. Foot sagittal motion arc was measured by radiographs. Patient satisfaction, ADL, footwear restriction, and rating scale scores were compared between the 2 groups. The mean sagittal motion arc in the AA group (23.5 ± 6.2°) was significantly greater than that in the TTC group (15.3 ± 3.5°). Patient satisfaction and overall ADL status was comparable in the 2 groups. Difficulties in climbing stairs, wearing rubber boots, and sitting in cross-legged position were more frequently reported in the TTC group. Our findings may be valuable for both surgeons and patients in predicting post-treatment ADL status and avoiding over expectations.
