Short summary

This study explores a solution for patients who suffer a fracture-related infection of the talus following complex ankle injuries.

After 3 years, the results showed no relapse of infection, good alignment, and improved quality of life with minimal pain. This approach offers hope for challenging cases where treatment options are limited.
