About the Webinar

Ankle osteoarthritis is a growing problem in health care. Several treatment options for ankle osteoarthritis have been described in the current literature. Ankle arthrodesis is still the standard procedure for end-stage osteoarthritis. It has been first described over 100 years ago, and since then several surgical techniques have been published including different surgical approaches, fixation types, and use of grafts. The aim of this webinar is to highlight current state of the art procedures including outcomes and possible complications.
