Clinical Experience With the Hindfoot Arthrodesis Nail for the Surgical Treatment of Ankle and Hindfoot Pathologies

Hindfoot Arthrodesis Clinical Trial

Official title: Clinical Experience With the Hindfoot Arthrodesis Nail (HAN) for the Surgical Treatment of Ankle and Hindfoot Pathologies. A Retrospective Case Series.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this observational study is to collect and evaluate the current clinical experience gained from the Hindfoot Arthrodesis Nail (HAN) for ankle and hindfoot fusions.

Clinical Trial Description

The HAN (Synthes) is a newly designed, titanium nail for trans-calcaneal, retrograde hindfoot fusion. The lateral bend allows an entry site in the center of the lateral column of the calcaneus, thus minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury of the plantar neurovascular bundle. ;
