Anterior distal tibial plafond-plasty for the treatment of posttraumatic ankle osteoarthritis with anterior translation of the talus

Abstract Posttraumatic ankle osteoarthritis (OA) represents a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons, especially in cases of anterior talar translation and concomitant impaction of the anterior distal tibial plafond. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of an intra-artic...
